In Los Angeles in the 1920s, a little girl (Untaru) finds herself in a hospital recovering from a fall. She strikes up a friendship with a bedridden man (Pace) who captivates her with a whimsical story that removes her far from the hospital doldrums into the exotic landscapes of her imagination. Making sure he keeps the girl interested in the story, he weaves her family and people she likes from the hospital into his tale. Shot in 26 countries, the second feature from the unique imagination of Tarsem proves worth the wait. A film of almost unparalleled scope and visual ambition; Matthew Barney is the only contemporary artist who is worthy of comparison.
