FULL STORY
======================================================================

The best alternative steaming service for indie movies, Mubi, is set to 
re-release Tarsem Singh's 2006 cult classic The Fall in a newly restored 4K 
version on September 27, giving the adventure slash fantasy slash drama the 
attention it deserves and me the chance to finally watch it for the first 
time. 

 Deadline has reported that the 4K edition of The Fall will premiere at this 
year's Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, which is being held between 
August 717, before subsequently becoming available to stream exclusively on 
Mubi in the US, UK, Canada, Latin America, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, 
Italy, Benelux, Turkey and India. 

Known to be one of the most visually striking movies in cinema, The Fall has 
become one of the most iconic adventure fantasy films from the 2000s after 
finding a cult following. Originally premiering at the Toronto Film Festival 
in 2006, it went on to earn $3.7 million worldwide at the box office when it 
was theatrically released in 2008 out of a budget of $30 million, according 
to Box Office Mojo . Starring @leepace and newly restored in 4K, Tarsems cult 
classic THE FALL streams exclusively and (almost) globally from September 27.

In the years after, The Fall had a lack of distribution and became very hard 
to find on streaming services, but director Tarsem was eager to to re-release 
the movie worldwide. By securing the recent distribution deal with arthouse 
streamer Mubi, The Fall can finally receive attention from a new generation. 

Currently sitting at 62% on Rotten Tomatoes, The Fall received mixed reviews, 
but was noted for its stunning visuals and storytelling with Robert Ebert 
writing in his review : "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." What is The 
Fall about? 

Set in 1920s Los Angeles, The Fall was filmed over four years in 20 different 
countries and stars Lee Pace ( Guardians of the Galaxy ) as Roy Walker, an 
injured movie stuntman who captivates a young girl, Alexandria (Catinca 
Untaru) in the hospital with a whimsical tale of heroes, myths and legends. 
The Fall was originally presented by David Fincher and Spike Jonze, with a 
script written by Dan Gilroy and Nico Soultanakis. 

Tarsem has also directed The Cell, The Immortals, Mirror Mirror, Self/less 
and is well known for his work on music videos, including Lady Gaga's single 
911. In 2023, Tarsem's first feature film in Punjabi, Dear Jassi won the 
Platform Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. It's a visual 
masterpiece and is sure to impress when it arrives on one of the best 
streaming services on September 27. You might also like Bored of Netflix? Try
