The Fall (2006 movie)

Sign in to disble this ad
Has anyone seen this movie?

I'd never heard of this until recently and I just watched it. I don't know what to think of it because I don't really understand what's going on.

It is beautifully filmed, the action and story are engaging and the acting and dialogue are as good as it gets.

I just don't understand the point of this movie. I've tried searching the interwebz but it seems a lot of people don't know what to make of this.

Can someone explain this movie to me?

The Fall (2006) - IMDb

Never heard of it, but you have me intrigued.

Going by the blurb, it sounds like it's meant to be a bit of a mind****.

I'll have to check that out. I love mind**** films!

If you want to get really confused, watch Anthony Hopkins' Slipstream. It's kind of jarring in some ways (no, not shakey-cam. It's filmed properly...) but pretty good IMO.

The movie is pretty violent in spots. Definitely not for kids.

I wonder if pharmacological support is necessary to get the most out of this film.


For what it's worth, here's the Wiki entry:
