Only available from the Umbrella webstore, The Fall Collector's Edition includes: * World premiere 4K Dolby Vision HDR feature * A 100 page book with behind-the-scenes, experiences and art with essays by William Bibbiani, Nadine Whitney and David Michael Brown * Custom rigid case artwork * Custom slipcase artwork * 8 artcards * A3 reversible poster * Limited Edition Numbered release Umbrella Entertainment presents The Fall for the first time in 4K Dolby Vision HDR. The Fall is a breathtaking treat from visionary filmmaker Tarsem Singh (The Cell, Immortals), a tribute to storytellers, to love, to the power of imagination, and to cinema. Shot in 24 countries using no sets and entirely funded by Tarsem Singh. The Fall is visually stunning with transportive storytelling, destined to linger long in the imagination. In 1920s Los Angeles, whilst rehabilitating in hospital after a fall, innocent optimist Alexandria (Catinca Untaru) strikes up an unlikely friendship with Hollywood stuntman Roy (Lee Pace; Twilight Saga, The Hobbit). Recovering from a near fatal accident and a personal betrayal, Roy begins to tell of a magical, mythological land ruled by Governor Odious and the 5 extraordinary heroes charged to defeat him - an enthralling story of colour, texture and immense riches unravels and it is only when the lines between reality and fantasy begin to blur that Alexandria realises how much there is at stake.  Director: Tarsem Singh Cast: Catinca Untaru; Justine Waddell; Lee Pace; Marcus Wesley; Robin Smith

Congratulations to Virat Nehru (@nehrukigalati.bsky.social) for winning the award for Best Review of a Non-Australian Film at the @auscritic.bsky.social Awards last night, for his review of Payal Kapadia’s ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT, published w/ Rough Cut last August.

Very well deserved!

And congrats to all the amazing winners including @nehrukigalati.bsky.social @tansyg.bsky.social and @sameytram.bsky.social

A roomful of film critics.

A terrific night at the @auscritic.bsky.social awards. Such an enormous reservoir of talent, and so few chances to celebrate it. Thank you Andrew and Nadine and everyone for all the work in making this happen.

Absolutely blown away to win @auscritic.bsky.social for best Australian review and a huge hurrah for @auscritic.bsky.social supporting our work and to Charles Williams and everyone behind the beautiful Inside.

And right on cue, on a warm summer evening in Sydney, it begins to rain. I smile, thinking that perhaps t...

ICYMI: I spoke to Payal Kapadia about centering her film around friendship, why the men in AWIAL feel like a breath of fresh air, and the choice of music in the film.

All We Imagine as Light screens at Perth Festival until Sunday. Don't miss it ❤️

I've got so many wonderful messages about it already. My heart is full 🤗

Thank you 🥲🤗

Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy the piece. Payal has immense clarity in what she's trying to say through her work. It was an absolute honour picking her brain

Thank you so much!! I really wanted to dissect the men in the film. I was surprised that they've gone under the radar in terms of all the discussion that's taken place about the film. I specifically thanked Kapadia for her choice of men on screen 🤗
