THE FALL poster brings back memories of THE CELL
Tarsem Singh's long awaited follow up to the beautiful but utter crap that was THE CELL is about to hit U.S. screens on limited release.
Despite having a 2006 release tagged on to the film's title on IMDB, the latest work of art from Indian born film-maker Tarsem Singh is finally making it's way to the U.S. on limited release this May (but not in the U.K.) Tarsem Singh was the director who brought us the Jennifer Lopez vehicle The Cell, a movie full of haunting, creepy and beautiful imagery. I know it's looked down upon now and hell I don't like it because of it's hammy psychological plot, often confusing and self indulgent film-making but man for a directorial debut, it was a stunningly bad movie. Much like Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain. I would rather sit through that kind of film than something as dull as The Other Boleyn Girl. Singh's long awaited follow-up is The Fall. This time the plot follows a little girl with a broken collar bone who meets a bedridden man in hospital who starts to tell her his fantastical life. It's yet another psychological and fantasy mind-bender, this time shot in India but in the English Language. The movie stars no-one you are likely to have heard of but that doesn't matter because the film is most certainly going to be sold on Singh's wonderful imagery...
