The Falling is a Canadian thriller drama film, directed by Raul Sanchez Inglis and released in 1998. The film centres on a love triangle between Lars (Christopher Shyer), Karis (Nicole Oliver) and Morgan (Rob Lee).The film unfolds in three segments, each representing one of their own perspectives. Lars meets Karis in a bar and takes her home for a night of passionate and uninhibited sex before Karis's jealous ex-husband Morgan arrives the next morning; Morgan sees himself as a gentle, loving man who is wounded by his wife's extramarital affairs; Karis envisions herself as an indecisive woman torn between two relationships with men she's not sure she loves. The film's triptych structure, with its shifting perspectives on how each of the three characters perceives the reality of the situation, was compared by critics to Rashomon, Run Lola Run and The Red Violin.The film received a special industry screening in Vancouver on July 29, 1998, before having its official public premiere at the 1998 Toronto International Film Festival in September. It went into commercial release in 1999.
