What you see in the title sequence for Tarsem's The Fall is a director's absolute control over his vision. To view it after seeing the film is a gift; a rare and beautiful thing. Surreal, extravagant and a world I'd like to step in to, not to bear witness, but to sense things in such a way.

Scored to Beethoven's Symphony No 7 In A Major, Op.92 (2-Allegretto), the visuals hit their money notes in quick succession. The bridge becomes a stage and the caballus curtain rises as the sequence concludes.

From Tarsem's DVD commentary, "It is hard to define...I wanted chaos without energy."
