Contains 2 features - The Falls and Vertical Features Remake.
The Falls is about 3 hours long and goes though about 190 people whose surname all begins in FALL and suffered from the VUE - Violent Unknown Event. It's an interesting idea and is very original, but can be very repetitive.
VFR is also experimental but short, although due to its subject - vertical features, its mainly just an arty experiment.
Not for everyone
There's a great feel to this picture, late 70s early 80s film work by Peter Greenaway. The editing Is superb, a lot of work went into this film, although some segments were a little boring to watch.
