best movie i've ever seen.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Lotte Reiniger's only wartime movie is a straightforward version of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale. However, for those who, like me, love her exquisite silhouette animation, it is a pleasure to see this rather rare piece.Reiniger, who directed the first animated feature, THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED, had a rare talent for her chosen form of animation. Her beautifully ornamented and articulated figures have had a few imitators and some compeers like Tony Sarg, but no equals. The version I saw was narrated by someone with a Scots accent, and that may have interfered with the screen magic and the air of eavesdropping on a private story that most of her pieces possess, but the visuals should charm you anyway.
