What the hell is it with The Fall<\/a><\/em>? This is a glorious movie, made all the way back in 2006. It had David Fincher and Spike Jonze behind it (‘presented by’). It stars Lee Pace (from ‘Pushing Daisies<\/a>‘) in a welcome dramatic role. It scores 8.0 on IMDB. But it isn’t available in Australia.
