Our take
Having already amassed a considerable reputation with his experimental short films, Peter Greenaway planted his flag in the annals of British cinema with this uproarious debut feature. At once fractured and expansive, The Falls is a dazzlingly ambitious sci-fi epic of singular wit and imagination.
