Tutti conoscono la storia di Cenerentola, giusto? Sbagliato! Nelle mani di Emilie Blichfeldt, al suo debutto alla regia di un lungometraggio, la fiaba dei fratelli Grimm diventa estremamente oscura: la regista reinventa la narrazione della scarpetta di vetro, della carrozza di zucca e del Principe Azzurro con un\u2019impronta da giallo italiano, un messaggio femminista e una prospettiva visivamente mozzafiato. Preparatevi a ogni conseguenza disgustosa, descritta nei minimi dettagli: vomito, sangue, arti recisi o una combinazione di tutto ci\u00f2. Chi avrebbe mai detto che C\u2019era una volta potesse essere cos\u00ec scioccante ed esaltante?<\/p>\n

\n

Feverishly funny, gruesomely gross and unrelenting in its satirical critique of beauty standards, here\u2019s The Substance of 2025. Everyone knows the Cinderella story, right? Wrong! In the hands of Emilie Blichfeldt, making her feature debut, the Brothers Grimm fairytale turns uber grim as she injects new life into the glass slipper\/pumpkin coach\/Prince Charming narrative with an Italian giallo slant, feminist message and visually dazzling perspective. Prepare for every disgusting consequence in agonizing detail, be it vomit, blood, severed body parts, or combination of both. Who knew Once Upon a Time could be so shocking and exhilarating.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
