Cinderella.......2007-11-22
OK, in my opinion this is the best Cinderella story ever done, I have seen many versions of this story & I never get tired of this one even after watching it every year for the last 29 years :o)
Story is great for kids & adults, it's just a shame that UK doesn't have interest in European films (there are lots of great ones) & make it into Pal.
Definitely recommend
Cinderella in the snow.......2006-12-12
Hi. I'm a big fan of Disney and loved his take on the Cinderella story (he used the version by French author Charles Perrault) but this Czek movie version is just a beauty and full of magic and nostalgia..Maybe it's the snowy countryside that makes it so magical..
I am French and this film used to be shown around Christmas on French TV in the 80s. I think I saw it a couple of times and I always remembered it. I'd been looking for it on DVD for 3 years now and bought a DVD from Facets in the US so I'm surprised and happy to see it available now on Amazon UK.
So one advice: buy this! It's well worth it! And if you like this , try to find the DVD of French movie "Peau d'Ane" by Jacques Demy featuring Catherine Deneuve and Jean-Marais. This is inspired by the French Fairytale of the same name. There are songs in the movie written by Michel Legrand, the guy who did "Les Parapluies de Cherbourg"..the costumes and decors are out of this world...litterally! and Catherine Deneuve is the most beautiful pincess you can ever see! Hope that Amazon UK makes it available one day!
Delight to watch.......2004-10-06
Three Gifts for Cinderella is a pure delight to watch..It's different to the classic cinderella story..In this version she is given Three Hazelnuts as a gift but inside each hazelnut is a costume..One of a hunter..another a beautiful ball gown and the last a wedding dress..This Cinderella can shot arrows and ride a horse like a man..Sadly for us in the UK we can't buy it brand new on DVD unless through a seller but in Germany where its shown every christmas its available on the German Amazon..Please Amazon Uk make it easily available to us..I long to see it again..
3 Hazelnuts for Cinderella.......2004-05-12
This film was made in the seventies, and hasn't been remastered or touched up, so don't expect crystal clear pictures. However, it is a good quality film. The story is rather slow but it is a different slant on the Cinderella story - without the Disney trimmings. There is no fairy godmother and the heroine has a bit of umph! The characters are believable although some of the English subtitles are a little odd!! The whole thing is a bit "medieval with a seventies twist" - for example, the prince wears medieval style clothes trimmed with seventies gold lame! Don't let that put you off - this is a lovely film and well worth watching!
