Joel Schumacher Michael Douglas, Robert Duvall, Barbara Hershey, Rachel Ticotin Lang voor Breaking Bad en Joker was er Falling Down, de film waarmee Joel Schumacher (The Lost Boys, Batman Forever) in 1993 een Gouden Palm-nominatie pakte. De film heeft een diepe fascinatie voor een slachtoffer van de moderne stad, die zijn droom naleeft en wraak neemt op de maatschappij. Waar komt deze fascinatie in films vandaan? Wat zegt het over de huidige maatschappij en zijn egalitaire belofte van marktwerking, dat we keer op keer de loser-figuur als hoofdpersoon zien? Vanwege ziekte kan de lezing van professor Sjoerd van Tuinen helaas niet doorgaan. Wél vertonen we de film (digitaal). 12 juni 1991, Los Angeles, de warmste dag van het jaar. Een ontslagen medewerker van het Ministerie van Defensie staat door wegwerkzaamheden al de hele ochtend in de file. Hij besluit uit de auto te stappen en naar het huis van zijn ex-vrouw te wandelen, waar zijn dochtertje haar verjaardag viert. Maar met zijn nogal opvliegerige karakter wordt hij tijdens zijn wandeling opgehitst door alles wat in zijn ogen onrechtvaardig is in de maatschappij. Een agent van het LAPD die met pensioen gaat krijgt het op zijn laatste werkdag aan de stok met de gedurige man. 12 juni 1991, Los Angeles, de warmste dag van het jaar.

An ordinary man frustrated with the various flaws he sees in society begins to psychotically and violently lash out against them.
Take Me... To 1993 Joel Schumacher Michael Douglas, Robert Duvall, Barbara Hershey, Rachel Ticotin "I lost my job. Well, actually I didn't lose it, it lost me. I am over-educated, under-skilled. Maybe it's the other way around, I forget. But I'm obsolete. I'm not economically viable." Since its release and thirty additional years of "unprecedented" economic - and climate related events, the sentiments, motivations and subsequent actions explored in Falling Down have only become more understandable, if never acceptable. As the insatiable orphan-grinder that is Late Stage Capitalism suddenly becomes physically unbearable for an everyman stuck in traffic on a hot L.A. morning (played with verve by Michael Douglas), he simply leaves his car to embark on a self-righteous journey of punishing those he deems responsible for his plight. Falling Down is howl into the void and very much akin to 2019's Joker. English language without subtitles. NOTE: the film will be presented digitally, unfortunately not on 35mm as previously advertised due to the print being unlocalizable .
