The Fall (2008)
Movie
Released
A hospitalised stuntman's story becomes a young girl's vividly populated adventure, so the emotional stakes keep slipping between storyteller and listener. Tarsem's extravagant locations give fans a world to revisit rather than a puzzle to solve. The beauty is attached to manipulation and despair, which makes this more bruising than an illustrated bedtime tale.

About The Fall
In a hospital on the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles, an injured stuntman begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm, a fantastic story about 5 mythical heroes. Thanks to his fractured state of mind and her vivid imagination, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur as the tale advances.
