Fall (1997)
Member Rating:  
In this romantic comedy drama, a mismatched couple (who aren't as mismatched as they believe) are brought together by fate and have to decide if they should stay together. Sarah (Amanda DeCadenet) leads a charmed life: She's a supermodel widely regarded as the most beautiful woman in the world, she's a multimillionaire, and she's married to a wealthy European aristocrat, Phillippe (Rudolph Martin), whom she loves deeply. So when Sarah hails a cab and the driver, Michael (Eric Schaeffer), tries to pick her up, it's no surprise that she's not interested. But fate keeps bringing Sarah and Michael together over the next few days, and eventually the witty and charming cabbie wears down her resistance. They end up back at Michael's apartment after sharing dinner together, and before long, the two are engaged in an extended and highly passionate lovemaking session. It turns out that not all is as it seems; Phillippe has lost interest in Sarah, sexually despite her love for him, and Michael is not just a cab driver, but a once-wealthy and famous author who chose to retreat from the limelight. Racked with guilt the next morning over her infidelity, Sarah tries to convince Michael that they should remain friends and nothing more, while he is convinced that he's met the love of his life. Eric Schaeffer wrote, produced, and directed Fall, as well as played Michael. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    The first part of the movie was wildly erotic to me. I didn't expect, however, for it to pull on my heart strings. I truly believe this movie touches on emotions that may be dulled by big names and expensive cinematogrophy. The mostly unrecognizable characters make it believeable and suck you in to the story, in my opinion. Actually, I think that the lead actress is quite beautiful and um, the lead actor is HOTT!!! And, I may be mistaken, but I believe that a young Scarlett Johansson has a bit part in this as well. It's just a flash, but she's there. I'm just wondering if this movie has a soundtrack, both verbal and musical.

    I am so surprised that there is no commotion mentioned around this movie. I picked it up on a friend's recommendation and my husband--who is 1000% action-thriller man, and I--artsy-intimate-human story woman, both completely warmed to it. I felt like I really scored that my husband liked this artsy, NYCity flavored, emotion accessing but not sappy romance. I wish more directors were willing to explore putting poetry as a primary communication mode for a movie--music so often is! This film also has a reality flavor in that it choses the vernacular/mundane scenes to engage us, but definitely progresses along a story line unlike reality shows. This movie has the feeling of a wonderful memory. It was that warm and personal.

    You have to see thew story for what it is. An indy flick. There is no Angelina Jolie to visually satisfly your suspension of disbelief of oh this is the most beautiful girl in the world. Which in some irony she turned out to be to the cab driver but not because of her outward beauty but her intelligence/personality. The director/writer takes risk some don't payoff some do in spades. I adored the use of poetry as a vehicle. Also, he does give us a reason to believe why a cab driver would write so wonderfully skilled.. It's essentially about a woman struggle between security(money) and the type of love and understanding she dreams about or for lack of a better word substance. The first time they have sex is written like first time sex with a new person sometimes is awkward.I am not going to lie it's a cheaply made film but it's the screenplay that makes it worthwhile,and like all great loves even when it's over life goes on.
