New 4k Restoration
Overview
Looking better than ever in a stunning new 4K restoration, we’re honoured to present Tarsem Singh's (The Cell) unsung 2006 masterpiece The Fall. Paralysed after jumping from a bridge for a film, stuntman Roy Walker (Lee Pace) lies bedridden in a 1915 Los Angeles hospital where he meets his fellow patient Alexandria (Catinca Untaru), a little girl recovering from a broken arm. On the condition that she steals pills for him, Roy tells her an epic story of five heroes; a silent Indian warrior, an ex-slave archer, an Italian explosives expert, Charles Darwin and a masked bandit who all seek revenge on the evil Governor Odious.
“A mad folly, an extravagant visual orgy, a free-fall from reality into uncharted realms...there will never be another like it”
Why You Should See This Film
Sitting somewhere between the fairytale charm of The Princess Bride and the maximalism of Alejandro Jodorowsky, Tarsem Singh's dazzling passion project, shot in twenty-eight countries on a largely self-financed budget, is a visually breathtaking ode to storytelling itself as well as a tribute to the stuntmen of the silent era, based on a 1981 Bulgarian film called Yo Ho Ho. After a Weinstein-sabotaged release, The Fall quickly fell into obscurity, despite the support of Spike Jonze and David Fincher and the acclaim of critics like Roger Ebert, garnering a cult following over the following 19 years.
