PIMPING THE FALL


I want people to see THE FALL, which I feel is the best film of 2008. No other film in recent memory has transported me to a different world the way THE FALL did. It's an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind experience, a film I want to revisit immediately. I saw it last Sunday and ever since then it's been stuck in my head. I have been pissed off by some of the reviews I've read online for the film, dismissing it as self-indulgent, boring and preposterous. I'm dismayed by them, actually. However, one of my favorite critics, Roger Ebert, feels the same way I do. He awarded the film four stars, as I did, and because he is who he is, he had a chance to meet with the film's director, Tarsem, and conduct an interview.

Here's a link to the article: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080603/PEOPLE/868926055

Also, here's a link to the trailer for THE FALL; check it out now...it's just a taste of the unforgettable things on display in this masterpiece of imagination, ideas, and images.
