The plot is based in a Los Angeles hospital during the 1920's in which young Alexandria meets Roy, while both recovering from accidents Roy befriends Alexander by telling her a story of six men from different corners of the earth, who journey together to claim revenge on the same man. However as his story continues he uses Alexandria to search the hospital and find morphine as he resorts to attempts at suicide in his depressed state after the paralysis in this legs.
Because of the use of the enchanting fanatsy tale 'The Fall' uses shots in various stunning locations across the world, for this and its use of frame positioning, choreographed scenes and both natural and manmade settings its no wonder its been awarded for ts cinematography. Overall The Fall is a beautifully written and protrayed film.
Thoughts on The Fall
For me, this film has can definitely gained a place in my all time favourites of the film world. I think what stood out the most to me was the ideals and efforts of the director, his vision and need for visual perfection reflects the story itself. It creates the imagination of a small girl and depicts her fantasy to the smallest detail without the use of any computer generated images or effects, by doing this we truly see the story through the characters mind. I find visually moving films leave the greatest impression on me as an audience members, just like the breathtaking scenes in The Fall.
