Somewhere on the Internet, someone wrote a column, "The Ten Most Visually-Stunning Movies Of The Last Decade" (or something like that.). The only movie I hadn't never heard of on this list was this one - The Fall - so I anxiously checked it out. Well, it certainly lived up to expectations, especially on Blu-Ray which was the recommended way to view the DVD.
Yes, it was one of the most amazing visual films I've ever seen. The story was a strange one and which gave me mixed feelings about it, was it was but okay. If read the other reviews here, you'll find everyone agrees "The Fall" is amazing "eye candy" but opinions really vary on the story, from loving it to hating it. In addition to the stunning visuals, the other thing that amazed me was how good an actress young Catinca Intaru ("Alexandria") turned out to be. I can see why she beat out 400 other competitors for this role, and received top billing. A Romanian girl who could speak decent English, she and the lines she delivered made for a very believable character.
Overall, this is a film you might like and might not, perhaps depending on your appreciation for photography. To me, that and realism of the child actress, made it a disc worth keeping.
