Description

Vienna Cafe on Shaoxing Lu hosts its weekly film events every Thursday evening, bringing a variety of films from different languages and cultures to Shanghai.

On Thursday 12th November, we are going to screen The Fall (2006).

At a Los Angeles hospital in the 1920s, Alexandria is a child recovering from a broken arm. She befriends Roy Walker, a movie stunt man with legs paralyzed after a fall. At her request, Roy tells her an elaborate story about six men of widely varied backgrounds who are on a quest to kill a corrupt provincial governor. Between chapters of the story, Roy inveigles Alexandria to scout the hospital's pharmacy for morphine. As Roy's fantastic tale nears its end, Death seems close at hand.

Presented by David Fincher and Spike Jonze, The Fall is an awe-inspiring cinematic tour de force.

Directed by Tarsem Singh.
