One of my favorite movies of all time is The Cell, starring Jennifer Lopez and Vince Vaughan- a very unlikely but somehow fantastic pairing. This movie is one of my favorite for many reasons: unique, original, creative plot, and intensely stunning and imginative visuals. I also recently watched Ms. Petigrew Lives for A Day and was shocked to see Lee Pace play a supporting role and then realized he was in movie directed by the same person who shot The Cell, Tarsem Singh.
Lee Pace was born in Chickasha, Oklahoma and as a child, spent many years in Saudi Arabia, where his father was in the oil business. In 1997, Pace was accepted by the Juilliard School's drama division where he acted in several plays, including Romeo and Juliet as Romeo, Richard III in the title role, and Julius Caesar as Cassius.
The film is about an injured stunt man stuck in a hospital witht he company of a little girl with a broken arm. To pass the time (and to get her to help him steal medicine) he tells her a fantastical story about 5 mythical heroes. Thanks to his fractured state of mind and her vivid imagination, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur as the tale advances. The Fall is so visually stunning, the costumes are gorgeous and unique and each step of every scene is creative, imaginative, and beautiful.
