fall for it -john

The Fall is the best movie ever. Directed by the artistic genius who brought us the Cell, Tarsem. The Fall first screened in 2006 but is just now being brought to select theaters thanks to the backing of two of my other favorite directors Spike Jonze and David Fincher, whom share producing credits. The film evokes simple, post modern fantasy, dream like imagery and unfathomable attention to detail that collide in a perfect storm of a movie.
The most notable aspect of the film aside from the bizarrely stunning visuals is the acting by the cutest little girl ever to grace the silver screen Catinca Untaru. She brought the film laughter, and innocence that I don’t recall ever seeing from such a young age. I hated Haley Joel Osment. I hated Jonathan Lipnicki. I love Catinca Untaru.
To best explain my point I would like to offer the internet this mathematical equation:
The Fall= Wizard of Oz (+) Be Kind Rewind (-) (the length) (x) + the Cremaster Cycle (+) the Never-ending Story (+) Amélie(+) Princess Bride

I've been wanting to see this movie since I first saw the trailer, do you know if it's playing anywhere around Austin?
