James Fitzgerald directs an unlikely love story for Forest Blakk's Fall Into Me, when a shopping mall worker strikes up a relationship with an after-hours cleaner - who's half-human, half-wolf.With charming performances from his actors - and featuring Desmond Eastwood as the werewolf-esque main protagonist - Fitzgerald channels the playfulness of '80s teen comedies in this unusual romance - set in a convincingly US-style mall in Dublin - in his third collaboration with Blakk. DoP Burschi Wojnar balances saturated coloured lighting and camerawork with a more contemporary, glossy style, resulting in a polished, timeless aesthetic which suits the concept perfectly.
