The Fall

You may have missed the latest work from Jonathan Glazer as his 7min short The Fall premiered unannounced on BBC2 one Sunday evening in October without any advertising or introduction. On the same night it surprised audiences across the country by playing before features at a selection of independent cinemas. It’s well worth catching up with on iPlayer while you can.

The Fall is everything you want a Jonathan Glazer short to be; intelligent, nightmarish and visually striking. It shares many qualities (and key crew) with his last feature Under the Skin including a score from the consistently excellent Mica Levi.

Levi’s work can also be heard in the recently released Monos directed by Alejandro Landes. It’s one of the most powerful and all encompassing scores I’ve ever heard that pushes the boundaries of possibility and elevates the film to whole other level.
