Tarsem got the rights back, and has a 4K transfer!

Great news! Tarsem’s got the rights back to the film, and he said he’s got a 4K transfer ready-to-go.

It’s not lost everywhere - you can still get it on DVD and Blu Ray, and stream it on Amazon Prime here in the UK... I'm sure there are ways these can be accessed from the US

Hard to believe it is essentially unavailable and in danger of basically being lost. I’m surprised to look back and see it didn’t get as much wide-spread critical love as I remembered. I knew it had flopped financially, but it was one of those movies at the time several people told me I had to see until I finally saw…

I’ll go ahead and read the article, but.. “divisive”...? I always thought it was just a great goddamn movie.

YES. I honestly cried at the end of this one because of how overwhelmed I was with the beautiful spectacle. it's always on the verge of being a total disaster but then.

Obviously YMMV, but from the perspective of a screenwriter with a deep and abiding interest in narratology and oral tradition in storytelling I fucking LOOOOOVE this movie. I saw it in theaters three times. For the year I watched it it briefly outshone my number one all time favorite Evil Dead II. I love that it’s a…

Glad you mentioned del Torro. I’m a bit bothered when critics cite him as one of the Three Amigos directors. Being from Mexico is the only thing they have in common.

His sense of visual composition is the most origianl I’ve ever seen and you don’t see many strong visual storytellers these days either.

personal opinions on this movie aside “If you liked The Fall Guy, check out The Fall” is unhinged 

I love Criterion, but it’s some serious bullshit that they will put out a big release for Risky Business of all things (a movie I enjoy, mind you) and not grab up this absolute masterpiece at the first opportunity.

Really great movie. I was having dinner with a romanian friend once and casually mentioned that I knew about this movie whose lead actress was romanian, and she was very interested in checking it out. She later complained to me that she and her friends hated it when they got high and watched it (I don’t think that’s…

I lost my copy of The Fall in a divorce, and it kills me that it’s so hard to find now. Tarsem’s best work (The Fall, The Cell, and yes, Immortals) is visually stunning in ways 95% of films can’t come close to. I love that you’ve given it some space on the site, even if in connection to mainstream pap like The Fall…

Hahaha. I worked with Tarsem for over a decade on most of his projects. It was always so fun. I was only a runner but I saw the world. He was a crazy talent and a lovely guy. We did a lot of high end commercials including a Kill Bill inspired Pepsi commercial with Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez with David Beckham. I only…

I’m probably showing my age here, but it seems like a massive oversight to have an article about Tarsem that doesn’t mention “Losing My Religion.”

Wow, I watched this movie all the time and made everyone I knew watch it. I haven’t watched it in years so I’m curious if it holds up outside of the beautiful visuals (which I’m sure do). I had no idea it’s essentially a “lost” movie, which is such a shame.

I was definitely smitten by this movie in my teens, and this article makes me wanna give it another go.

The Fall is one of my all time favorites. The story is pretty OK, but the visuals are absolutely mind-bendingly good. Every time I’m in a store that has used DVDs, I do a quick scan, just keeping hope alive. No luck, yet.

Tarsem Singh! One of the my favourite - and sadly, underrated and underemployed - directors slash cinematographers.

I watched this movie once a long time ago, and fell in love with it. It has the spirit of ‘The Adventures of Baron Munchausen’ but in a dramatic sense.
