The Fall

THE FALL (2006)
Another self-indulgent, pretentious stinkpile from Tarsem. I really don't know what to say about this movie. It featured some impressive visuals; they obviously filmed in some interesting places. But the "story" is just pointless, and seems like an excuse to go from one interesting looking place to the next. I'm not sure why Tarsem didn't just make a Baraka type of movie, as the backgrounds seemed to be what he really cared about. Blech. I did like the ending though, with a series of clips of stunts from silent films set to a piece from Beethoven's seventh symphony. *1/2
