Review of When Night Is Falling (1995) by Russell S — 15 Feb 2010
A visually stunning movie that plays out in an unpredictable, beautiful, well filmed style. The sense of the extra ordinary is portrayed in almost every ordinary occurrence within the film. It has a magical timeless feel to it that just captivates you from the word GO!
The music is exquisite, especially the deep cello that adds atmosphere to the entire movie.
This was also one of the first lesbian movies I watched where one or both of the main characters doesn't end up killing herself, being killed, going straight or any other grotty ending!
I'll grant I can't give it a 100% because there are small and odd flaws in it that you can't help but notice. (Like at the end when you wonder to yourself, now is the dog alive again or is this the beginning of a zombie movie?).
All in all though it is a feast for the eyes, the ears and the brain! Watch it and marvel.
