The Fall

I'm not always one for making grandiose claims about the year's best films before the year is through, but this time, I feel pretty justified in saying that Tarsem's The Fall really is the most beautiful film of 2008. I'm absolutely delighted that it's coming to the Bijou later this month. Watch the preview here and then make plans to go. Seriously. Do not dillydally; do not wait. You have to see this. (And not just because it continues proving that Lee Pace is the new Ryan Gosling/Christian Bale/Ed Norton/James McAvoy/greatest young actor, etc., though that is a bonus.)
