The Rio Theatre's "Must Be Seen on the Big Screen" series continues with one of the most regularly requested titles we get from our audience, writer-director Tarsem’s (THE CELL) visionary 2006 epic THE FALL. Relive this gorgeous fantasy fable on the big screen with its stunning new 4k restoration, presented by David Fincher and Spike Jonze.

In silent-era Hollywood, stuntman Roy Walker (Lee Pace, 'Foundation', 'Bodies Bodies Bodies') is brought to a hospital after an on-set accident. There, he befriends a young girl (Catinca Untaru) and tells her a fantastical tale of epic heroes taking revenge on an evil ruler. The story transports her from the hospital into the exotic landscapes of her imagination.

A monumental production that filmed over four years in 28 breathtaking locations across multiple continents, with dazzling costumes designed by Academy Award® winner Eiko Ishioka, THE FALL remains one of the most gorgeous films ever made, a genre-defying cult classic like no other.

"...a movie that not only expected me to pay attention, it assumed that I could." (Film.com)

"Tarsem has found a home for his endlessly unique visions, and (wouldn't you know?) it's beyond artifice and stealing toward art." (Austin Chronicle)

"Tarsem's 'The Fall' is a mad folly, an extravagant visual orgy, a free-fall from reality into uncharted realms. Surely it is one of the wildest indulgences a director has ever granted himself." (Roger Ebert)
