Why watch this film?

From Italian director Matteo Garrone (‘Gomorra’), this film competed for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. It is a loose adaptation of Giambattista Basile’s fairy tales starring big names such as Vincent Cassell, John C. Reilly, Salma Hayek, Stacy Martin and Toby Jones, ‘The Tale of Tales’ brings these fantasies to life on the silver screen as they were originally conceived: with stunningly surreal images that are as beautiful as they are grotesque, and will stay in your mind either way.
