Nominated for Best Film at the 2008 Sitges International Fantasy Film Festival ‘Hansel & Gretel’ is a visually stunning and truly affecting fable about the destruction of childhood dreams, the loss of innocence and the power of the imagination to overcome life’s horrors.
Thematically and tonally comparable to Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’, Juan Antonio Bayona’s ‘The Orphanage’ and the works of author Angela Carter (The Company Of Wolves), Hansel & Gretel, the latest feature from South Korean writer-director Yim Phil-Sung, takes its initial inspiration from the classic Brothers Grimm story and effectively employs it as the basis to reinvent the fairy tale as a dark and chimerical adult mystery for the modern age.
‘Hansel & Gretel’ comes to DVD on 6th April 2009 from Terracotta Distribution and in order to be in with a chance of winning your own copy simply enter your details below to enter our giveaway!
