Watch Tale of Tales For Free

Fantastic!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Yeah i know unfollowable isn't a word, but it should be.I agree with some other users that this would've been better served as a separated trilogy rather than one film. It's impossible to follow and you're left wondering how they're all connected if you aren't familiar with the source work (which most won't be, as evidenced by the reviews). This is meant to be an art film, nothing more, and will only serve people who are as pretentious and clueless as the filmmakers.

Tale Of Tales: Very Grimm Tales! Got darker as the film developed. An Ogre, Giant Flea, Sea Monster, Shape Shifter and more. Set in Medieval Italy but anachronisms abound: 18th century muskets, llamas, 19th century diving suit - 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea style. John C. Reilly dons the Vernian diving suit to hunt a Sea Monster. 8/10http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3278330/

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 :)

"Il racconto dei racconti" ("Tale of Tales" in English) is an adaptation of Giambattista Basile's works focusing on how desire and obsession lead to tragic outcomes. In one, a queen desires a child, so the king slaughters a sea monster and she eats the heart, but she focuses more on making the prince follow her orders than on letting him have a friendship. In another, a king spends all his time raising a flea, ignoring his daughter until he decides to marry her off. In the last one, a king is infatuated with a woman until he finds out that she's old, but then she puts on a facade.If you've spent your life knowing only the sanitized versions of fairy tales, then Matteo Garrone's movie will be a real shock: no singing, no cute animals (but there are some scary ones), and no happily ever after. The dialogue is more concentrated in certain spots, allowing the action to be the main focus elsewhere. There's still a lot in the way of aesthetics - palaces, costumes, hairdos - but this is truly a dark fantasy. After all, it's not every movie in which a queen eats a sea monster's heart (with blood smeared all over her face). Not a masterpiece, but still an interesting look at fairy tales, much the way that "Into the Woods" is. I recommend it. A real feather in the cap of Salma Hayek, John C. Reilly, Toby Jones, Vincent Cassel and Shirley Henderson.
