Tale of Tales (2015)
6/10
But what about...??
27 September 2018
Absolutely gorgeous film that makes no sense whatsoever. I wouldn't mind, except right from the start it leads you into thinking that the following events are somehow connected or going to resolve together. But they don't. About two thirds through it becomes honestly quite boring and predictable until we reach the end. Or, that is, if it had an end. It doesn't. It just stops suddenly with little to no resolution and a freaky, unanswered question. Unnecessarily graphic - the gore and on screen sex add absolutely nothing to the production. It could have had a touch of humour or charm to offset the misery and bleakness, but both are in very short supply. Few of the characters have enough dimensions to begin forming a meaningful relationship with the audience.

It's quirky, it's kind of unexpected and very well made. Provokes many thoughts and then instantly crushes them. If you like to leave a film feeling dissatisfied then this is for you.
