The Fall is a 2006 adventure fantasy film directed and co-written by Tarsem and starring Lee Pace, Catinca Untaru, and Justine Waddell. It is based on the screenplay of the 1981 Bulgarian film Yo Ho Ho by Valeri Petrov. Its costume design is by Eiko Ishioka. The film was released in the UK and US in 2008, and earned $3.7 million worldwide. As of spring 2024, the film's notable lack of distribution and absence from any streaming platforms made it a case-study in the ways that even critically acclaimed cinema can be essentially lost.
