Free Fall (Freier Fall)
Dir: Stephan Lacant, Germany, 2013, DCP, 100min
Genre: Drama, Relationship, Sexuality, Subtitled
Identity: Bisexual, Gay
German with English subtitles
This captivating German coming out drama unfurls through the masterful filmmaking of Stephan Lacant (Little India, Fireflies). Beautifully shot, Free Fall has gained critical acclaim at 2013's Berlinale and on the film festival circuit. Marc is the perfect picture of a family man - a strong, stern policeman with a chiseled jaw and his first baby on the way. Having recently moved back into his parents' house, Marc and his wife Bettina enjoy a pleasant relationship, although he is emotionally disconnected from all those around him. In police training, Marc meets Kay, a rebellious fellow officer with whom he is instantly at ease, and they share a moment of passion whilst jogging in the forest one afternoon. After Kay transfers to the police unit in Marc's provincial town, Marc tries to repress his desires, but the two men soon embark on an passionate love affair. As their relationship intensifies through nights at gay bars and days spent in each other's arms, Marc is forced to question his future.
With strong performances from the entire cast, Free Fall delicately captures some of the hardest moments of life, showing how quickly a life can unravel when truths are withheld. (Tsari Paxton)
