Director Garrone, whose previous film Reality has won the Grand Prize of the Jury in the Cannes Film Festival, re-presents a modern version of fairy tales based on Pentamerone written by Giambattista Basile. The film includes three stories, namely the Queen, the Flea, and the Two Old Women. A ruthless queen insanely craves for a child and gives birth to a boy after eating the heart of the aquatic dragon. A King feeds a giant flea with his own blood and porterhouse steak and randomly marries his daughter to an ogre who recognizes the skin of the flea. A sex-addicted monarch is intrigued by singings of a mysterious old hag and invites her to his bedroom at night… The world of tale is indeed insane and absurd. Director Garrone mixes real and surreal narratives and challenges the traditional aesthetics on tales through modern film languages.
導演馬提奧加洛尼在震撼康城之作《擬似主角》中玩轉現實後,借新片挑戰傳說,以《五日談》為基礎改編,寫實與超現實手法完美結合,用現代視角挑戰童話審美。愛子如命的女王冷血獨裁,為了生子不惜生吞龍心;耽於昆蟲的父王荒謬擇婿,嬌貴美麗的公主下嫁荒蠻;荒淫無度的君主循歌而來,年華已老的姐妹換皮爭寵……這是毛骨悚然的人性寫實,這是慾念與愛的黑色怪談。電影佈景華麗逼真,帶領觀眾親身窺探童話世界的黑暗真相。
