Paulscoconutass Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 The Fall (2006)Watched this wee gem yesterday and was totally blown away. The look, style and feel of the film are amazing and worth the price of the DVD alone (pictures below). Some reviews slate the story for being weak, but when a film looks as mind-blowingly good as this, most will. Apparently it was shot in over 20 countries and must have been in dozens of more outstanding locations; it also took approx 4 years to make. I would say is that it must be watched on a huge television to get the full effect - and on Blu-Ray / HD is possible.The idea is pretty basic: an guy in hospital tells a girl a story of 5 heroes and their quest to kill a baddie. It's a bit slow at times, but both the 'present' story and the fable itself are good, and nearly all of the actors pull out top-drawer performances - especially the young girl.A must-see film!
