The Fall, Guest Entry

A description of this movie will not do it justice. It wasn't until I saw the trailer that I really wanted to watch it, so if you're in doubt, go online and see the trailer....

The setting is a hospital in 1920's Los Angeles. A wounded stuntman strikes up a friendship with an immigrant girl. He begins to tell her an epic story, which comes to life in stunning brilliance (as imagined by the girl, which makes for some funny moments.) The stuntman has been betrayed by his girlfriend and is permanently disabled, so the story gets darker and darker, and the stuntman uses the story to manipulate the little girl. The story is unlike any other; the imagery is strikingly beautiful. Get your hands on it--you won't be sorry.
