Harrill Reporting

The Fall is a UK Premiere directed by Tarsem Singh. It is about a young girl whom befriends a man in the hospital where she is recovering from a fall. He begins to tell her a tale consumed of adventure and epic fantasy.The Fall is impressive, having been filmed in twenty-four countries. Yet, for me, there is one thing that overshadows such an amazing feat and that is Catinca Untaru. Miss Catinca Untaru is the young girl who plays Alexandria. While watching this film, I saw pure innocence. Her banter with Lee Pace (Roy) seems genuine and pure improve. This feature film made me laugh, made me uncomfortable, and made me cry. Near the end of the film is when all of these happen one after the other. Roy is telling the end of the story and he falls deeper into depression. Alexandria is powerless and can not help her heroes and new found friends in this grand tale. It is heart wrenching mostly because of the young actress’ innocence. This film is one to see.
