This week on The Watchers, Jodie proposes a theory: Tarsem’s The Fall might be the most English-major-ass movie we’ve ever covered. A movie about grief, connection, and the shared act of co-authoring a world together, The Fall spans continents and mythologies while really being about two people in one hospital room and their attempt at meaning-making. We get into Tarsem’s laser-eyed focus on making this film a reality by self-funding, shooting in more than 25 countries, and holding the whole thing together through stubborn will. It’s a movie that became a beloved favorite despite being nearly impossible to find until its 2024 restoration.
Next week: Season 1 of Somebody Somewhere, the tender, joyful, devastating HBO series about friendship, grief, chosen family, and what it really means to come home.

Behind the Scenes - The Fall
“Before Your Very Eyes: Tarsem’s The Fall” - Nicholas Russell, Bright Wall / Dark Room
