The Fall

If you like Salvador Dali, the Princess Bride, and a strong IPA, The Fall is your movie. The cinematography is amazing with a strong resemblance to Dali. After seeing this flick it is easy to see why it took them four years to film, all on location. All of the characters have their own romantic feel. The storyline is similar to the 80's favorite of the Princess Bride and further perfected by Femme Fatale. Characters are found on both sides of the story, and the little girl in the film imagines a story being told to her. People she sees around her end up in her imagined version of the story. The story is a but hard to follow, but is held up by the amazing attention to detail and cinematography. Finally Goose Island IPA pairs nicely with The Fall. The hops and history of the IPA go well with the adventure. And, when is it ever a bad time for a pale ale.
