Rise and Fall of a Small Film Company
TV Movie
An absurdly brutal and minimalist examination of the desperate search for financial backing by two small-time filmmakers, 'Rise and Fall' is knowingly self-referential, sad, and appropriately enough, a film shot on a miniscule budget in 16mm. Based on a novel by James Hadley Chase, with script by Jean-Luc Godard.
VIBE
A stark, self-aware descent into the soul-crushing grind of chasing dreams. It’s a bleakly funny, minimalist portrait of artistic struggle that feels as raw and unvarnished as its low-budget aesthetic.
