Synopsis

A dazzling fantasy, this dark fairy tale about suicide and broken hearts - a labor of love from director Tarsem ("The Cell") - is set in the early 20th century, and takes flight from an L.A. hospital ward to literally circumnavigate the globe. A celebration of cinema, of old-fashioned storytelling and spectacle, it stirs the soul.

Length: 1 hour, 56 minutes
