I discovered this place by chance. I’m glad, it’s amazing. Very cool, your post about Puras Joyitas, I saw the movie because i’m Venezuelan.

For some interesting comparison of opening title sequence scored to Beethoven’s Symphony No 7 In A Major, Op.92 (2-Allegretto), see Lola (1961) directed by Jacques Demy. British Film Institute also dedicated a section of their website on scoring music for films and OST with commentaries given by noted film makers. I like the discussion on Stanley Kubrick’s choices of music for Barry Lyndon.

I want to ask one thing to whom so ever it may concern…

Firstly, this film is great in all aspects I watched it many times in many layers. I found the great part is the way girl imagines the story, her associations becomes reality in her imagination.
Is this all predetermined or is it a way of representation? I’m doing my U.D. research thesis on phenomenology and its interpretations. I am planing to analyse this film, the narration and its imagination. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Alonso,

Suppress judgment until having viewed The Fall and given it a day’s thought.

Do not view in haste but have the film at the ready the next quiet opportunity.

I had to view the film over three nights and I looked forward to each viewing, which, humbly, bespeaks its style, its depth and its heart.

If you love the cinema then there is something in this film that you will gasp at in both acknowledgment and surprise.

i haven’t seen the movie but this is so impressive i almost don’t want to see the movie! tarsem can be astonishing in short films (remember losing my religion?) but, judging from the cell, his visuals at some point can get tiresome.

anyway, this title sequence is beautiful.

The Fall is an astonishing if slightly lightweight film, but I suspected I was going to thoroughly enjoy it when I watched – almost with gaping mouth – the wonderful title sequence. Many thanks for reproducing them here; I have told all my sons and daughter (who as it happens is studying film production in York) about it and having praised the titles now they can see this magnificent sequence for themselves.
