One Favourite: “The Fall”

Today Prof Sebastian asked us for our favourite movie.

I don’t really have one. But here’s one: “The Fall” (2006, dir. Tarsem Singh).

The beginning is in slow motion, black and white, set to classical music. Forgot what piece it was.

[Spoiler alert]

So the main character played by Lee Pace has an accident and has to stay in a hospital place. A girl at the place asks him to tell her stories, and as he does, she imagines him in fantasy-like scenes which is like what you see on the movie poster. Sometimes surreal but quite a feast for the eyes.
