“Even the Preacher knows you throw oranges at him”
The Fall
Director: Tarsem Singh
The Fall begins with a young girl Alexandria (Catinca Untaru) stuck in a hospital healing from a broken arm. She has many friends within the hospital which are all employees. She soon befriends a new patient Roy (Lee Pace) who his back is being treated from falling off of a bridge. To keep her occupied he begins to tell a story with made up characters from her everyday life. The story is of an evil king and the five very different men who want revenge on him. As the story telling goes on Roy gets even more depressed making the story grimmer as all of her favorite characters start to die off.
The first thing I have to compliment on this movie is the colors. They way they are used throughout the movie to imply the fantasy world versus the real world. While in story mode, the oranges, reds, blues, and whites are so primary and vibrant. Also Catinca was a great choice for a lead; she’s so believable to where you almost think she’s making it up without a script. I hope to see her in many films in the future as she gets older.
Rating- 4.5
