Diary Entry forSound of Falling
My second to last film at this years festival and this was truly a great time. I loved the different settings and time periods, despite this all taking place in a single residence. The stories of trauma and how things were handled shows that throughout time not a great deal has changed when it comes to helping victims of abuse. A powerful and important piece of cinema.

Womanhood really connects us all. The suicidal thoughts and all

Death has always been a major part of my life. While I have not been personally affected by it that much, it has never left my thoughts. The death of myself, the deaths of my loved ones, the deaths of people I’ve never met, all of these are things which weighed on my mind from a very young age. So I felt a particular connection with this film that seemed to have its own fascination with death. The film jumps back and forth between different branches of a specific family tree detailing how they each dealt with and experience death in a way that feels almost like a reminder that the things we experience and think about aren’t as unique as we think, that the human experience is quite universal and the film expresses this idea through its fixation with death. Suicide specifically is a focus of this story. There are multiple scenes of characters either committing or contemplating suicide and I found that very interesting. The film seems to me be tackling this idea by showing the variety of reasons someone might have for taking their own life. The victims are people of different ages, classes and eras and the only thing they have in common is that they’re girls from the same family. I think that perhaps these scenes and characters exist to show how long and how differently women have been failed by the societies around them and how them seeing death as the only way out is indicative of broader social issues. It’s a ghost story for sure but not a horror movie. It’s intense, interesting, sad and beautiful. It has a lot to say and I know I’m only scratching the surface after this first viewing. Really really really good movie
