the fall

a film by the director tarsum, this movie is absolutely beautiful.  the visuals on this movie are so striking and incredible that the story and plot are almost unnecessary.  its about a man who is in a hospital and strikes up a friendship with a small girl who stops by his room.  the man tells her stories about an intrepid hero who saves the day.  whether or not the stories are true is beside the point, the real goal for him telling the stories is to try and get the little girl to get him more to fend off the pain.  the stories he tells take place in some amazing locations that seem to beautiful to actually exist in the real world.  the flashes to the story are breath taking in their visuals and make this one worth watching for that alone.
