The Fall

In a 1920s Los Angeles hospital, a wounded stuntman spins a yarn about five mythical heroes to a young girl convalescing with a broken arm. As the story unfolds, the porous boundary between the fractured reality of the hospital and the fanciful narrative dissolves, immersing both captor and captive in a world where imagination trumps physicality. Director Tarsem Singh's lavish visuals and intricate storytelling unravel a parable about obsession, redemption, and the power of mythmaking.
