The Fall
Momentum Pictures releases one of the most 'astonishingly beautiful' (The Times) and breathtaking films of the year to own and rent on DVD, and in spectacular high-definition on Blu-ray, on 26 January 2009. The Fall has to be seen to be believed.
Award winning music video, commercial and film director Tarsem (The Cell) creates a moving and seamless blending of mundane life in a Los Angeles hospital with a visually sumptuous fantasy world of exotic bandits, evil tyrants, dream-like palaces and breathtaking landscapes.
Little White Lies called the film 'extraordinary and simply beautiful, a banquet for the eyes' and The Times said it was 'an eye-searing fantasy extravaganza, looks like nothing else you’ve seen in cinema.'
Both the DVD and Blu-ray contain fantastic special features to give you a behind-the-scenes insight into THE FALL, including two featurettes, two audio commentaries and deleted scenes.
Winner of the Crystal Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival and Best Film at the Catalonian International Film Festival The Fall was shot on location in 20 countries around the world including India, Argentina, Chile, China, Egypt, Fiji, Italy, the Maldives and Namibia and without the use of CGI special effects with spectacular results.
Featuring some of the year’s most awe-inspiring images, 'The Fall is both an imaginative fairy tale and a very adult allegory about the power of despair, devotion and dreams' (Film Review).
In a hospital on the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles, an injured stuntman (Pushing Daisies’ Lee Pace) begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl (Catinca Untaru) with a broken arm, a fantastical story about 5 mythical heroes set in an exotic far off land.
Thanks to his fractured state of mind and her vivid imagination, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur as the tale advances and takes a sinister, life-threatening turn.
The Fall is released on DVD on 26th January
