Tale of Tales
2015 · TMDB 6.4 · Il racconto dei racconti
Directed by Matteo Garrone
The Queen of Selvascura risks everything to be a mother; the King of Roccaforte falls in love with the voice of a mysterious girl; the King of Altomonte becomes obsessed with a flea and neglects his daughter.
Why it matters
Three macabre stories, adapted from Giambattista Basile's 17th-century collection, weave together a queen's desperate desire for a child, a king's obsession with a flea, and a princess's monstrous suitor.
