Its otherworldly story split critics down the middle, but none can argue with the power of its imagery. Continuing our exclusive look at the stunning visuals of Tarsem's The Fall (Read the first part here), the director takes us further into the film. A tale about storytelling, it's a clash of colour and ideas and is designed for those whose sense of balance can be comfortably shaken. The Fall is in UK cinemas now and is available on DVD and Blu-Ray in the US.

It's one of the few films that I'd pay for in picture-book form. Stunning.

isn't it kind of stupid that he refers to himself by one name though? he's not as bad as catwoman director "pitof" or anything, but he's also no cher or madonna. you really have to earn single name status, and two mildly received films, however gorgeous they are, doesn't warrant that.

Isn't his name Tarsem Singh, or did he ditch the Singh?

after watching this moview I was curious to read what the critics have said.
Many thought is was visually interesting but otherwise empty of content.
While there are some problems with contruction of the film which can leave the viewer confused, I thought it was an original and creative effort aimed at capturing the power of the imagination and how our life stories are not just our own, but interwoven with others as well. The little girl Alexandria was convincing and her relationship with Ron was what enabled him to turn himself around. The weakest part of the film was the scene where he is being held down by his enemy (a part of himself) and chose to fight back.
Too bad. But otherwise I think the film should be getting more attention.
