The Fall (2006 film)

The Fall is a 2006 adventure fantasy film produced, co-written, and directed by Tarsem, and starring Lee Pace, Catinca Untaru, and Justine Waddell. It is based on the 1981 Bulgarian film Yo Ho Ho written by Valeri Petrov and directed by Zako Heskiya. The film centers on a young girl (Untaru) who meets a stuntman (Pace) at the hospital they're both staying at, with the latter telling her a fantastic tale involving a group of heroes seeking revenge on an evil ruler.

Presented by David Fincher and Spike Jonze, the film premiered at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival, before being released in the United States on 9 May 2008, and the United Kingdom on 3 October 2008. In the years since its release, the film has become noteworthy for its lack of distribution and absence from any streaming platforms, with Singh having worked to find distributors to re-release the film worldwide. In July 2024, streaming service Mubi announced their acquisition of select distribution rights to a 4K restoration of the film, which premiered at the Locarno Film Festival before streaming on Mubi on 27 September 2024.
