Announcing Our Next Raw Food Dinner and a Movie:

The Fall

"Each shot of film looks like a beautiful painting. Tarsem Singh is one gifted filmmaker and I hope we see more of his work in the near future."

"The Fall engages the viewer and makes for an emotional yet satisfying ride. Lee Pace is fantastic- Catinca Untaru gives a spectacular performance. The visuals will take your breath away, and the music will stay with you long after you've left the theater. A magnificent piece of filmmaking."

"It's a tongue-in-cheek fairy tale based around a personal tragedy. It shares a lot with films like "The Princess Bride". It is enjoyable, well-played and shot.."

"GO see it! Stop reading reviews, don't watch trailer-just be open and check it-arsty, smart, original! left me with a big smile :)"

Synopsis
Languishing in a hospital, Roy Walker is a broken man in more ways than one: Unable to walk after a fall from a horse in a movie stunt gone wrong, his heart is also broken after his girlfriend ran off with the movie's leading man. Ready to end his life, Roy befriends five-year-old fellow patient Alexandria, with the goal of persuading her to stealing a fatal dose of morphine pills for him. Roy launches into a story that fuses patients, staff and others at the hospital with imagined personas and exotic lands. What he describes as an epic tale of love and revenge is so riveting to Alexandria that she will do whatever Roy asks in order to hear the next installment. The tale loosely mirrors the ill-fated love triangle that has left him heartsick and features Alexandria's favorite nurse Evelyn, as the beautiful Princess Evelyn; Sinclair, the movie star who stole Roy's girlfriend, as the detested Governor Odious; and Roy himself as the avenging Black Bandit who leads the attack on the governor with the help of a colorful posse that includes Alexandria as the Black Bandit's daughter. But as the story takes a darker turn, Alexandria begins to realize there is far more at stake than the fate of a handful of imaginary characters. It's up to Roy whether the Black Bandit-and Roy himself-will survive the climactic final scene.

After the film, we'll go to nearby at Caravan of Dreams (405 E. 6th Street, between 1st Ave./Ave. A) for a delicious dinner and conversation!
