From the bitter quest of the Queen of Longtrellis, to two mysterious sisters who provoke the passion of a king, to the King of Highhills obsessed with a giant Flea, these tales are inspired by the fairytales by Giambattista Basile.
I like off the wall type of movies so I really enjoyed the twist of the variety of characters and merger of the stories in end,

FYI: This is based on fairy tales that predate Grimm. True to the source, its good, but don't expect Disney. So you can blame any misogyny on the 17th century, Adeba! :)

Not true. The first king dies killing the serpent to please his wife's desires. The prince loses his albino twin (lover?) to please his mother and the 2nd king loses his daughters love in his greed. If anything the movie says magic is not to be played with. Magic makes everyone suffer.

Physically stunning, some amazing performances! and it *does* go somewhere.. 3 potentially brilliant tales full of genuine fairy/folk tale elements end up demonizing, betraying and/or physically savaging every female character while the more evil the man, the less he suffers.

Fantasy horror involving witches, sea serpents, twin princes, an ogre, a lonely princess and a gigantic flea. Good looking but goes nowhere.
