“You always stop at the same part when it’s beautiful.” Mubi has unveiled an official trailer for the new 4K restoration and re-release of the cult classic film The Fall, the second feature from the acclaimed, visionary Indian filmmaker known as Tarsem. This film initially premiered at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival, then toured to other festivals throughout 2007, got lost in the mix and eventually opened in 2008 but it failed big time at the box office. It later became a beloved cult classic, revered for its splendid cinematography and vivid visual storytelling. In silent-era Hollywood, stuntman Roy Walker is brought to a hospital after an on-set accident. There, he befriends a young girl and tells her a fantastical tale of epic heroes taking revenge on an evil ruler. The mesmerizing story transports her from the hospital into the many exotic landscapes of her imagination. Starring Lee Pace in one of his first roles, with Catinca Untaru and Justine Waddell. I’m so glad this getting a proper 4K re-release now, a chance for it to shine and be appreciated again nearly 20 years later. If you have never seen this film before, this is a must watch when it premieres on the big screen.

Here’s the official 4K re-release trailer (+ poster) for Tarsem’s The Fall, direct from Mubi’s YouTube:

Tarsem’s epic cult classic, finally restored in 4K highlighting the breathtaking, stunning cinematography. In silent-era Hollywood, stuntman Roy Walker (Lee Pace) is brought to a hospital after an on-set accident leaves him paralyzed. There, he befriends a young girl called Alexandria (Catinca Untaru) and tells her of a fantastical tale of epic heroes trying to take revenge on an evil ruler – whilst secretly planning his own suicide. The Fall is directed by acclaimed Indian filmmaker Tarsem (aka Tarsem Singh), who directed this as his second feature film following The Cell (2000) and before making Immortals (2011). The screenplay is written by Dan Gilroy and Nico Soultanakis & Tarsem Singh. Based on the original 1981 film titled Yo Ho Ho written by Valery Petrov. Produced by Tarsem. This film originally opened in theaters in May 2008, after first premiering at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival and touring to other festivals throughout 2007. Mubi will debut Tarsem’s The Fall in 4K – re-releasing for streaming on September 27th, 2024 this fall. Who’s in?
