BLANCANIEVES (2012, SPAIN)

FILMS FROM THE 21st CENTURY
(Post 26 of 50)

Some quick takes on the most relatively recent listings from the
1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list


After the success of The Artist, I did wonder whether any more silent films would ever be coming our way. And here we have this undeniably delightful re-telling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Many of the classic elements of the story are there, as well as a prerequisite evil stepmother, a legendary bullfighter, a leading lady with a slight case of amnesia and a merry band of dwarfs. 

Lots of  fun to watch, though not without some sad parts. But that's life and that's fairy tales!

Let's keep those silent films coming!
