Tale of Tales (2015)

Thanks for the memories!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Basically, if you like being drawn in with bold story telling and decent imagery then this may be for you. However, if you are repulsed by stories with no climax or ending, then this is not for you. And the plot hints at 3 intertwining stories....NOT AT ALL. Just because the character appear for 10 seconds in a scene together does not make the stories INTERTWINE. Trust me you'll be disappointed. Imagine watching something like, The Departed, and as soon as the elevator opens up on Lenonardo DiCaprio the screen goes black. Yeah, like that

5/23/18. Sadly, this could have been so much better. While it was atmospheric, the cinematography was awful. The lighting was dark most of the time and I couldn't see what was going on. The stories don't mesh too well, and each story seemed a bit unfinished, and bringing elements together at the end didn't bring them to any conclusion.

Any negative review of this movie must have been written by someone that is dense and lacks sense of humor. It would be hard to find any film ever that mingles the intense storyline and danger, with such a baseline self awareness of its own silliness. Watch it and then watch it again, like me :)

First thing, this is not a movie everyone will enjoy. If you see the label fantasy and think it will be like Lord of the Rings, you are way off, and probably will be disappointed. It is definitely a fantasy but it is more like Pan's Labyrinth, but not really either. The best I can put it, it's different.Somewhat based on the Giambattista Basile's (I hadn't heard of him before either, but kind of interesting to look up) collection of fairytales. The movie therefore has several different subplots, very lossely connected (i.e. not at all really more than that the characters meet sometimes).The movie is no stranger to either nudity, sex or gore but it is not the highlights of the movie it all. It is just... there. The movie is more about different kinds of obsession. The pace of the movie is slow (sometimes refreshingly so) and not everything is explained. A lot of the stories you got to figure out yourselves, and somethings are never resolved. A movie fun to watch if you want to test something outside the mainstream blockbuster cinema.
