Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. A selection of dark fairy tales that are testament to the power of imagination. Gory, sexual and visually astounding, Tale of Tales is a Grimm inspired Palme d Or nominated fantasy film starring Salma Hayek, Toby Jones, Vincent Cassel and John C Reilly.    The sheer, obstinate oddness of Tales of Tales sends crowd-pleasers like Game of Thrones and The Hobbit scuttling into the shadows Dave Calhoun, Timeout.   Special Features Interview with Director Mateo Garrone Interview with Salma Hayek  Interview with Toby Jones Theatrical Trailer  

Matteo Garrone directs this horror based on a collection of three tales by Giambattista Basile. Salma Hayek plays a queen saddened by her inability to conceive a child with her king (John C. Reilly). However, an old crone offers her a mystical solution that comes with a heavy price. In the neighbouring kingdom of Roccaforte a sex-addicted royal (Vincent Cassel) falls in love with an unseen old woman with a hypnotic singing voice. In the third kingdom of Altomonte the ruler (Toby Jones) finds his feelings for his daughter Violet (Bebe Cave) transferred to a flea he discovers on his body which he nurtures from under his bed.
