We were bummed to miss last week’s press screening of The Fall, former music video artist Tarsem Singh‘s long-delayed followup to The Cell (which plays these days mostly as a punchline, but we remember rather liking it).
The trailer looks gorgeous, but early word is decidedly mixed (check out Marc Savlov’s very positive review in print tomorrow or online right this very second). We’re reserving judgment till we see it in the theatre – which we just might do on Monday, June 2, seeing as how Tarsem will be holding court (or at least a Q&A) at the 7pm show at the Arbor Theatre (9828 Great Hills Trail). Tickets are the usual cost ($8.75 for adults, $7.50 for students, and $6.50 for children/seniors) and can be purchased in advance either at the Arbor box office or online at fandango.com.
