The Fall (2006)
NEVADA THEATRE 12/8 - THE FALL - Join us as we celebrate Tarsem Singh’s wildly-imaginative and gorgeously-shot 2006 classic with a brand new 4K restoration! Set in 1920s Los Angeles, THE FALL centers on a bedridden stuntman named Roy, who befriends a young immigrant girl, Alexandria, while recovering in a hospital. To pass the time, Roy tells Alexandria an epic and fantastical story about five heroes on a quest for revenge. As the line between reality and imagination blurs, the vivid storytelling becomes deeply intertwined with Roy and Alexandria’s emotional struggles.
