Written and directed by one of BAFTA’s “Brits To Watch,” Carol Morley, The Falling features an awe-inspiring female ensemble cast including Maxine Peake, Monica Dolan, Greta Scacchi and Florence Pugh (theupcoming Studio City). Florence Pugh was nominated for Best British Newcomer at BFI’s London Film Festival 2014.
Conjuring mystical suspense with black magic, The Falling tells the sinister story of two best friends, deeply troubled Lydia (Williams) and charming Abbie (Pugh), experiencing a sexual awakening at a 1969 English girls’ school. After an unexpected tragedy takes place, the female students fall victim to an outbreak of unexplainable fainting spells, causing rapture and mass hysteria that threatens the psychological and physical stability of all involved.
