Tarsem SIngh's cinematography in "The fall" reminds me of Parajanov much more than Terry Gilliam: same construction as a series of gorgeous tableaux.
Eiko Ishioka's costumes are indeed fabulous and it works well for this movie (and "Mirror, mirror") but, e.g., she also dressed Gary Oldham in the dreadful Coppola's Dracula, where they absolutely stole the show (his hair buns alone deserved their own movie), and that wasn't right there.
I only meant the fall reminded me of gilliam's obsession with fantasy and reality mixing. the fall reminded me a bit of baron munchausen
i loved gilliam when i was younger but my esteem has waned over the years. i was happy to watch a movie that explored similar themes, with more compassion.
anyway I LOVE COPPOLA'S DRACULA so we now we can be enemies forever and ever
A very nice review, and you might enjoy this recent interview with Lee Pace about the film: https://www.rogerebert.com/interviews/lee-pace-the-fall-interview
