Tale of Tales

Movie Ranked #900 | 2016 - Fantasy, Horror, Romance
The film serves as Garrone's English-language debut and will interweave three separate story strands bookended by brief bits in which Italians Alba Rohrwacher and Massimo Ceccherini will play a street circus family. In one tale Salma Hayek will play a jealous queen who forfeits her husband's life. In another, Vincent Cassel plays a king whose passion is stoked by two mysterious sisters.

Best two reviews:
1) The Guardian - It is a masterpiece of black-comic bad taste and a positive carnival of transgression. The secret is the deadpan seriousness with which everything is treated. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >
2) Hitfix - A slightly bumpy two hours of storytelling, but it's peppered with wonder and unexpected humor. (Rating: 83) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
9) The Playlist - Tale of Tales is magnificent, the way a performing bear can be magnificent. (Rating: 75) Read Full Review >
10) Variety - Taken together, the parables serve primarily to entertain — an effect that has as much to do with Garrone’s command of the cinematic language as it does the content itself. (Rating: 70) Read Full Review >
