The Fall

The Fall is a movie directed by Tarsem, whose only other film is a little ole picture called The Cell. I guess that probably won't make the sale to you, though, because I'm apparently the only person who likes that movie. Anyway, the plot of this movie is kind of simplistic, involving a man in a hospital telling a story to a young injured girl, but then the movie makes up for this simplicity by making the imagining of the story visually stunning, and also by analyzing the elements of storytelling, and how the exterior world influences the interior world of the imagined. It's pretty good I suppose, and Tarsem paid for the whole thing himself for some reason, and also didn't use computer graphics. I don't know how he did that, but he did. Check it out in the theaters, because this will definitely lose something on video unless you have a giant screen hi def television like everybody I know besides me.
