I’ve wanted to see The Fall since it came out. Tarsem Singh directed The Cell, which completely blew me away. In both movies, Tarsem features fantastical, vast landscapes – he has a painter’s eye. Many scenes in both movies are fantastically beautiful.
The Fall is also a bit of an homage to early film and to stuntmen. Above all, it celebrates imagination. However, the final half hour stumbles quite a bit. I’d recommend The Cell, instead.

Reviews: 250 user |166 critic |23 from Metacritic.comIn 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 fantastical 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.
