The Fall (Movie)

I think The Fall (2006) must be one of the finest films ever made. It is hard to find but someone put it on YouTube. An injured Romanian immigrant kid befriends an injured stuntman in a hospital in 1920s LA. The stuntman weaves a story to entertain the kid. The story is visualised the way a kid would imagine it. They filmed it over four years in twenty countries and refused to use computer generated graphics because in the words of the director it does not age well.”
