The Fall (2006): In a hospital on the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles, an injured stuntman begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm, a fantastical story about 5 mythical heroes. Thanks to his fractured state of mind and her vivid imagination, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur as the tale advances. (7.9)
Director: Tarsem Singh
Stars: Lee Pace, Catinca Untaru and Justine Waddell
A fantasy wrapped around a hard truth about broken limbs and a broken heart. The fantasy part reminded me a lot of Princes Bride, but the real life part slowly grows to tell a much larger story. If I say more about the story, I will spoil it for anyone else. The cinematography is fabulous. Acting is superb. The locations are all over the world and wonderful sets/scenes. An independent film and quite obviously a labor of love. (Check the the Wikipedia page about the movie after you watch it.) My Rating: 8.0
