While Matteo Garrone‘s "Tale Of Tales" made a starry debut on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival last spring, it didn’t seem to bowl over critics. While we called it "engrossing and entertaining," we also noted it was more of an in-the-moment pleasure. Still, with this cast and what look to be some unforgettable visuals, the picture looks like one that’s still worth tracking down.
The latest from the director of "Gomorrah" is based on the 17th-century fairy stories of Giambattista Basile, with Salma Hayek, John C. Reilly, Vincent Cassel, Shirley Henderson, Stacy Martin and Toby Jones starring in the wildly fantastical film. Here’s the official synopsis:
"Tale Of Tales" is now available on DirecTV and will open in limited and On Demand on April 22nd. Watch the new U.S. trailer below.
