Review of The Fall (2006) by Bill B — 21 Aug 2010
Words cannot describe the beauty of this movie in every aspect. It is a visual spectacle, but so much more than that.
The young actress is incredible, and the story (both real and imagined) is engaging. How I missed this film when it was released is beyond me (the movie poster alone would have tempted me, as it invokes the feeling of a famous Salvador Dali painting, and his influences are evident in the scenery throughout).
It's rated R - WTF? There is some violence, but nothing gratuitous, no nudity, and no profanity that I can recall. The main character wants to die by taking morphine, and perhaps that is the reasoning. A scene using stop-motion animation for a dream sequence might be disturbing in that it depicts surgery, but I've scene far worse movies that had PG or PG-13 ratings. This movie would be perfectly suitable for teens, pre-teens, and perhaps precocious younger ones would be able to figure out the main points of the story.
I will definitely watch this movie again, and highly recommend to anyone and everyone.
