Tale of Tales, minu ja Pauli selle sügise Halloweeni-film. Soovitan soojalt. Võiks lausa öelda, et kuumalt. Allpool lingid paarile arvustusele.
The Guardian: It may be inspired by 17th-century Italian fairytales, but Matteo Garrone’s dreamlike circus of sex, violence and magic is definitely not one for the children. This lustily fantastical English-language feature from the Italian writer-director Matteo Garrone is described on screen as being “loosely based on The Tale of Tales by Giambattista Basile”, the Neapolitan writer whose 17th-century fairytales inspired Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and more. Bawdy romping, meaty heart-munching and toothy creature-feature fare are all on the menu in this sprawling collage of fables.
Filmcomment: Love and family are astonishing letdowns for all concerned. With a focus on corporeal gore and psychological realism, Tale of Tales attempts to re-Grimmify the fairy tale, rather than fracture or deconstruct it. The result is a film that doesn’t wink at the viewer as much as stare aghast at the self-interested evil that humans do.
Wikipedia: Tale of Tales is a 2015 European fantasy horror film co-written, directed and co-produced by Matteo Garrone and starring Salma Hayek, Vincent Cassel, Toby Jones, and John C. Reilly. An Italian-led production with co-producers in France and the United Kingdom, Tale of Tales is Garrone's only English-language film. It competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. It is a screen adaptation based on collections of tales by Italian poet and courtier Giambattista Basile: Pentamerone or Lo cunto de li cunti (Tale of Tales, or Entertainment for Little Ones), which contains the earliest versions of famous fables like Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. The three tales are La Cerva Fatata (The Enchanted Doe), La Pulce (The Flea), La Vecchia Scorticata (The Flayed Old Lady), which have been freely adapted with elements of other tales by Giambattista Basile as well as a touch of artistic license.

Tore, et sa kiidad, minu arust on tal IMDBs täiesti arusaamatult madal reiting. Tglt vist polegi nii arusaamatu, sest nähtavasti kohtus sellega kinosaalis liiga palju inimesi, kelle jaoks muinasjutufilm võrdus lastefilmiga.
ReplyDeleteUmbes nagu "Home Fries" nimelist filmi (mis mulle meenutab kõige enam lynchilikku groteskkomöödiat) turundati romkomina ja sellel on samamoodi kesised arvustused, sest romkomisõbrad pettusid ja tegelikud huvilised ei läinud sellise turunduse peale vaatama.
Ma ausalt öelda IMDBd viimasel ajal üldse ei näpigi. Filme lingin enamjaolt Wikipediale, sealne Critical Reception ühtib vähemasti minu hinnangutega tükk maad enam.
DeleteSelle filmi puhul olen ka mina sellega nõus, aga nt seesama "Home Fries" on ka kriitikute käest mumst liiga vähe kiita saanud. st nad kritiseerivad seda filmi nende aspektide eest, mis ta minu arust just heaks filmiks teevad (nt "ei saa aru, kas see üritab olla romantiline või must absurdikomöödia" - no väga lahe, kui film ei lase end nii kasti suruda ju!).
