The Fall

Landmark Theatre: "In Los Angeles circa 1915, a little immigrant girl (Catinca Untaru) is in a hospital recovering from a fall. She strikes up a friendship with a bedridden man (Lee Pace), who captivates her with a whimsical story that removes her far from the hospital doldrums into the exotic landscapes of her imagination. Making sure he keeps the girl interested in the story he interweaves her family and people she likes from the hospital into his tale. Shot on location in 18 countries around the world, The Fall is a moving, visually sumptuous fantasy of exotic bandits, evil tyrants, dream-like palaces and breathtaking landscapes. Directed and co-written by Tarsem (The Cell)." Official Web Site
Roger Ebert's Chicago Sun-Times review...

The first half of the film dragged and then it picked up and kept your attention. Aside from that, the colors and landscapes were breathtaking. Each frame was an art piece.

You'll recognize the leading man, Lee Pace, from Pushing Daisies, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, Infamous and Wonderfalls.
