“Every new life calls for a life to be lost……..are you willing to accept the risk?”

What’s it about?

Nightmarish intermingling of three medieval fairy tales for grown ups and their sadist friends….but not their children. Not anyone’s children.

Who’s in it?

Salma Hayek, Vincent Cassel, Toby Jones, Bebe Cave, Jonah & Christian Lees, John C. Reilly, Hayley Carmichael and Stacy Martin

Why should I watch it?

+ Impressive performances all round – not easy when almost every character is a main one
+ With Basile’s The Enchanted Doe, The Flea and The Flayed Old Lady thrown together, you’re actually watching three stories in one picture. Efficiency wins
+ Beautifully shot with dreamlike characters and history book looking scenery
+ Toby Jones will make you believe that a flea is a man’s best friend. Forget your dog.Sell    your dog
+ Vincent Cassell can keep a straight face while saying the most ridiculous things
+ He is also excellent…
