Tale of Tales, GFT, 17 – 30 June, 2016

‘Gloriously mad, rigorously imagined, visually wonderful’ – The Guardian
Friday 17 – Thursday 30 June
Running time: 2h5m

Once upon a time there were three neighbouring kingdoms from which ruled kings and queens. Loosely inspired by the Neapolitan fairytales of Giambattista Basile, Matteo Garrone’s (Gomorrah) English language debut is a spectacular gothic fantasy with a unique vision of cinema at its heart. Toby Jones plays a king obsessed with his pet flea, Vincent Cassel’s king is a fornicating libertine tricked into an undesirable tryst and Salma Hayek is a queen told by a sorcerer to consume the heart of a sea serpent if she wants to conceive a child.
Specially commissioned programme notes will be available.
Director Matteo Garrone Cast Salma Hayek, Vincent Cassel, Toby Jones
Italy/France/UK 2015, 2h5m, some subtitles.
