Fall
Tarsem’s 'The Fall' is a mad folly, an extravagant visual orgy, a free-fall from reality into uncharted realms.
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The Fall
Relive the adventure of Tarsem’s visionary fantasy epic THE FALL, as it returns to theaters in a stunning new 4k restoration, presented by David Fincher and Spike Jonze.
In silent-era Hollywood, stuntman Roy Walker (Lee Pace, Foundation, Bodies Bodies Bodies) is brought to a hospital after an on-set accident. There, he befriends a young girl (Catinca Untaru) and tells her a fantastical tale of epic heroes taking revenge on an evil ruler. The story transports her from the hospital into the exotic landscapes of her imagination.
A monumental production that filmed over four years in 28 breathtaking locations across multiple continents, with dazzling costumes designed by Academy Award® winner Eiko Ishioka, THE FALL remains one of the most gorgeous films ever made, a genre-defying cult classic like no other.
"Tarsem’s 'The Fall' is a mad folly, an extravagant visual orgy, a free-fall from reality into uncharted realms. Surely it is one of the wildest indulgences a director has ever granted himself... a movie that you might want to see for no other reason than because it exists. There will never be another like it." -Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times
