The Fall

A majestic tale of heroism and revenge; a soulful story of heartbreak and friendship; and a heartfelt love letter to the nameless, thankless souls who risk their lives to make cinema truly spectacular, Tarsem Signh's long-awaited follow-up to The Cell manages to be many things at once, while never feeling as if it's overreaching its scope. It's an impressive feat to create a film that is both lavishly grandiose and deeply intimate, and The Fall is not only both of these things, but also unusually accessible for such an ambitious, visionary film.
