Tarsem Talks His Gonzo Masterpiece “The Fall” Restored in 4K

A film 28 years in the making and shot across 24 countries, Tarsem’s gonzo masterpiece “The Fall” has long been woefully unavailable. The 77th edition of the Locarno Film Festival saw a new 4K restoration, done in collaboration with MUBI, premiere on the 8,000-seat Piazza Grande in Locarno. For this episode of our podcast Locarno Meets, Tarsem sat down for an in-depth discussion of this great UFO of film history, telling the epic story of its making, of the reasons for its long-time unavailability, of how it was rejected by studios and critics but revered as a cult classic by fans, and how seeing it on the big screen at the Locarno Film Festival is the best kind of validation. #LocarnoMeets: where established legends of cinema and exciting new talents chat about art, life, movies and everything in between. Locarno Meets is a Locarno Film Festival original podcast. → Spotify https://shorturl.at/aWOL5 → Apple Podcasts https://shorturl.at/hlfA2 → Amazon Music https://shorturl.at/qzZu0 ___ Subscribe to our newsletter: http://www.locarnofestival.ch/newsletter Connect with us – https://www.locarnofestival.ch/ –   / filmfestlocarno   –   / locarno-film-festival   – https://x.com/FilmFestLocarno –   / locarnofilmfestival
