The Fall by Tarsem
by balqan
I have the habit to go down every weekend to the video store and rent three movies, as the time passes it’s becoming a more and more difficult task, since there are less and less movies left that I’ve not seen or that I would spend time to watch.
This time after about 40 minutes of search I noticed something in the corner of the store, an intriguing cover, with a fantastic image. It reminded me somehow the Cirque de Soleil, the Fall by Tarsem. The title of the movie didn’t really caught me, it was more the director name and of course the cover that made me curios.
I won’t tell you here anything about what’s happening in the movie, but it’s a movie that is worth watching. The images are beautiful, just as the music (Beethoven Symphony no.7) and the whole story that is built around a little girl and a story teller.
I have mixed feelings after watching it, I think this is a movie that some people will love and others will find utterly anoying. I’m more in the category of those that find this movie unique,smart and inspiring.
Some trivia:
- the lead actor Lee Pace, has spent the first two month of the shooting in a wheelchair at the request of the director.
- Alexandria played by Catinca Untaru, the adorable little girl in the movie is Romanian and ever since she was three, she wanted to be an actress and receive flowers on stage.
- the movie was financed entirely by the director Tarsem Singh
