In 1920s Los Angeles a young girl (Untaru) meets a stuntman (Pace) at the hospital where they are both patients, with the latter telling her a fantastic tale involving a group of heroes seeking revenge on an evil ruler.
A 2006 movie which has been remastered in 2025. It was shot in 28 countries over 4 years. According to the director no stages or sets were used, only existing locations.
It plays out like a Lady Gaga music video, but Tarsem’s madcap dreaming feels justified by the end – Chase Burns, The Stranger (Seattle)
A story that doesn’t make logical, traditional sense, but a story that makes perfect, simple sense in what it says: you can never know how someone will respond to your stories, what you’ll ask of each other, what you’ll give. – Molly Templeton, Tor.com
