I know for a fact that very few of you who read this post will have seen this film.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't arrogance, just the fact that I hadn't even heard of THE FALL until a friend waxed lyrical about it to me last month.
THE FALL got an extremely limited cinematic release back in 2008 and graces many 'Top Films' lists. It stars Lee Pace (an actor who should be well into the A-list by now in my opinion) and Catinca Untaru. I challenge you to find another performance by a young child this decade as affecting and equally delightful as her portrayal of the inquisitive Alexandria.
It was shot in over 18 countries and could very well be the most visually stunning film I have ever seen. HD, Blu-ray, all that high-tech stuff, well, it was designed for THE FALL. Why this film was passed over for any Oscar nominations is truly beyond me.
