Not only
the anniversary of the famous fairy tale by the Grimm Brothers or the success
in the United States, but most of all the superb cast drew Veronika and me to
the cinema yesterday to find out what the craze is all about!
I got
exactly what was promised in the trailer! A very dark and dirty, drastic and
dusky transformation of the 200 year old story. I enjoyed the grown-up version
and appreciate the courage to cater a target group from teenagers to mid-thirties!
Sometimes,
though, the script lacked some logic and consistency and quite some parts made
you laugh without the purpose of being funny! However, the cast is chosen
exceptionally well, the story is changed in quite a pleasant manner, the music is
well composed and the locations and settings always give you something stunning
to watch!
