Films & Architecture: "The Fall"

Subscriber Access

The Fall is a very visually powerful film. It is the result of a tremendous effort from its director Tarsem Singh, who travelled around the world in order to find the right locations for each scene. It is not only about the diversity of these spaces, but also the way that Singh is able to put all those elements together as part of a massive surrealistic world. 

The film includes footage shot in over 20 different countries, with places such as the Taj Mahal, the Valkenberg Hospital in Cape Town, and the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. In fact, the "Blue City" in the movie is actually Jodhpur, an old city of Rajasthan, where local people painted their houses blue, thinking it would alleviate the heat.
