Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon's latest film, The Falling Star, will be released in US theaters on August 30, 2024. They are known for their creative storytelling. This film, billed as a "caper comedy," combines slapstick humor with darker elements of film noir.
The plot revolves around Boris, a former activist who now hides behind the bar of a secret underground club.

This change adds a layer of depth to the humor, resulting in a unique viewing experience.
When Bruno Romy's one-armed vigilante Georges tries to kill Boris, things get weird. His mechanical arm breaks, though, and a hilarious and chaotic sequence of events ensues instead of him achieving his goal. This malfunction sets off a series of ridiculous events.
Boris's wife devises a scheme to keep him safe that involves Dom, a man who resembles her husband. This plan results in even more puzzling and hilarious incidents that have a hint of tension mixed in with the humor.
With its blend of dark themes and humor, The Falling Star presents a novel perspective on cinema. Film enthusiasts are drawn to the Abel and Gordon-directed picture because of its distinct fusion of humorous and somber moments. Excitement has been created by the trailer, which promises a comedy that also delves deeper into reflection.
The film's bright colors and quirky plot reimagine classic film noir. Abel plays Boris, a former activist who goes undercover as a bartender. Abel portrays Dom in the movie as a depressed recluse who takes part in a convoluted plot.
The intriguing ex-wife of Boris, played by Fiona Gordon, is a private investigator who might spoil their plans. A hint of vintage cinema is added by the film's unique minimalistic set designs. These drew inspiration from Buster Keaton and Jacques Tati.
Japanese dancer Kaori Ito, Bruno Romy, and Philippe Martz all make brief cameos as amusing and surprising characters. Their parts lend the film an endearing and playful vibe.
