Hoezo in KINO

“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 .
