FALL in love with this EXCELLENTLY-CRAFTED STUNNING movie.
I just saw the screening for this movie - and for 2 hours I was transported AND plunged head-long into a DAZZLINGLY sumptuous opulently expertly-crafted imaginative tale of mortality, despair, hope, love, betrayal, redemption, revenge, and friendship - drawn into a story-within-a-story.
Shot in 18 (!!!) countries - the surreal cinematography and visual smorgasbord served up frame after frame of expertly directed scenes that are pleasing to the eyes. This movie is a PRIME example of what an ART film should be. Director Tarsem Singh is a force to be reckoned with! He also directed the equally visually stunning and memorable THE CELL starring Jennifer Lopez.
The Fall is a MUST-SEE for genuine movie fans who appreciate genuine movie-making.
I am looking forward already to Tarsem Singh's next movie WESTWORLD - a remake of the 1973 Yul Brynner/James Brolin movie-adaptation of Michael Crichton's similarly titled novel.
I HIGHLY recommend The Fall.
