Following a workplace accident, stuntman Roy Walker (Lee Pace) is admitted to a hospital in 1920s Los Angeles with severe injuries. There, he meets young Alexandria (Catinca Untaru) and begins telling her an epic story....
The little girl listens spellbound as Roy spins increasingly fantastical tales, bringing them to life in her mind’s eye and on the screen with her boundless childhood imagination. Yet she soon realizes that dark abysses lurk beneath all that opulence and vibrant color… Produced by David Fincher and Spike Jonze, filmed at over 20 locations around the globe, and created using exclusively practical effects, Tarsem Singh’s lavish fantasy adventure is a visually stunning love letter to cinema and the power of storytelling. The big screen was made for films like this. It is a unique cinematic experience and a hidden gem that remains far too little known now shining anew in restored 4K glory for its 20th anniversary.
