Blancanieves (2012)
(Snow White)
Country: SP
Technical: bw/1.37:1 104m
Director: Pablo Berger
Cast: Daniel Giménez Cacho, Inma Cuesta, Ángela Molina, Maribel Verdú
Synopsis:
The daughter of a famous bullfighter is orphaned from childbirth, brought up by her grandmother, imprisoned by her stepmother, and finally rescued by a band of bullfighting dwarves, whereupon she discovers her hereditary talent in the arena.
Review:
This black and white silent picture inevitably invites comparison with The Artist and, for its part, evokes the silent era in its melodramatic tale and iconography. It is a tour de force of sound and vision, its music and effects more than making up for the lack of dialogue, and its fabulous antecedents filling in the gaps equally well.
