The Falling Star (2024): Release Date, Trailer, and Everything We Know So Far

As a lifelong aficionado of the quirky and the absurd, I can hardly contain my excitement for Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon’s latest masterpiece, “The Falling Star.” Having been captivated by their unique storytelling since their debut, I eagerly await the day when this caper comedy graces the screens of US theaters on August 30, 2024.


On August 30, 2024, Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon’s latest production, titled “The Falling Star,” will hit the screens in U.S. theaters. Renowned for their imaginative narratives, this upcoming film promises a blend of hilarious caper comedy with the gritty aspects of film noir, offering a unique mix of slapstick humor and darker, more mysterious elements.

The story centers on Boris, once an activist, now disguised as a bartender in a clandestine nightclub. Initially, the movie starts off light-heartedly, but soon evolves into a contemplative and introspective tone, reminiscent of absurd theater. This transition gives an extra dimension to the humor, offering a distinctive viewing adventure.

In an unexpected turn of events, when Georges, Bruno Romy’s one-armed vigilante character, attempts to eliminate Boris, things take a humorous twist. Instead of succeeding in his mission, his mechanical arm malfunctions, leading to a series of absurd and chaotic situations. This malfunction triggers a string of laughable events.

In my line of work as a lifestyle advisor, I found myself in an unusual situation where my wife came up with a cunning strategy to ensure my safety – by enlisting a doppelganger, a man strikingly similar to yours truly. This intricate plan led to a series of perplexing and side-splitting events, filled with a dash of suspense that kept the humor at its peak.

Through a unique mix of somber undertones and wit, The Falling Star offers a fresh take on cinematic storytelling. Cinephiles are enticed by this film directed by Abel and Gordon due to its intriguing juxtaposition of comedic and serious scenes. Anticipation is building as the trailer hints at a comedy that also invites introspection.

In a captivating twist of old-school film noir, I found myself utterly engrossed by the vivid hues and offbeat narrative of this cinematic masterpiece. Stepping into the shoes of Abel, I became enthralled by his portrayal of Boris, a once-passionate activist who donned the cloak of a bartender in a covert operation. Yet, it was Abel’s depiction of Dom that truly stole my heart – a tormented hermit drawn into a tangled web of intrigue and deception.

In the movie, Boris’ former spouse, portrayed by Fiona Gordon, is a detective with a knack for uncovering secrets that could potentially disrupt their schemes. The movie’s distinctive, sparse production design lends it an old-school charm reminiscent of classic cinema, borrowing elements from Buster Keaton and Jacques Tati.

In a delightful twist, Japanese dancer Kaori Ito, along with Bruno Romy and Philippe Martz, briefly appear in humorous and unexpected roles. These appearances give the movie a charming and whimsical atmosphere.
