The Fall is a visually very 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. The film includes footage shot in over 20 different countries, with places such as Taj Mahal, the Valkenberg Hospital in Cape Town, or the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. In fact, the mentioned “Blue City” in the movie, is the actual Jodhpur, an old city of Rajasthan, where local people painted their houses in blue colour thinking they would prevent the heat effects.

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. A tour through some of the most amazing places in the world that we hope you enjoy and let us know your thoughts about it.
