The films of Director Tarsem Singh have a particular visual quality that could almost be a product of the short lived french film Movement Cinema Du Look, which some have said prefers style over substance this can been seen in subsequent films such as 'the Fall' and 'Immortals' all of which are visually stunning , this is also due to the work of legendary costumer designer Eiko Isioka, who has been a presence with Singh from the beginning as well as for her stunning work on 1992's Dracula , Visual references can also be strongly made between this and such music videos as Madonnas Bedtime Story and Nine Inch Nails Closer to the keen eye.
