[SLO]

Preplet treh čarobnih temačnih povesti iz 17. stoletja, ustvarjene po zgodbah Giambattista Basila. Zlobna kraljica si silno želi otroka, zato brezvestno žrtvuje svojega moža, vendar postane žrtev lastne sebičnosti. V drugem kraljestvu obsedeni kralj obljubi svojo hčer zlobnemu grdobcu, vendar mladenka vzame usodo v svoje roke. Na drugem koncu sveta se objestni kralj poroči z lepo mladenko s temačno skrivnostjo, ki jo pozna zgolj njena sestra, kar povzroči usodni vrtinec ljubosumja. (vir: www. kolosej.si)

The film serves as Garrone's English-language debut and will interweave three separate story strands bookended by brief bits in which Italians Alba Rohrwacher and Massimo Ceccherini will play a street circus family. In one tale Salma Hayek will play a jealous queen who forfeits her husband's life. In another, Vincent Cassel plays a king whose passion is stoked by two mysterious sisters.

An Italian-led production with co-producers in France and the United Kingdom, the film is Garrone's first English-language film. It competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.

It is a screen adaptation based on collections of tales by Neapolitan poet and courtier Giambattista Basile: Pentamerone or Lo cunto de li cunti (Tale of Tales, or Entertainment for Little Ones), which contains the earliest versions of famous fables like Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.

According to Matteo Garrone, he was drawn to Giambattista Basile's stories for their mix of the real and the unreal, and because he found the themes in many of them to still be highly relevant. Garrone had previously been best known for employing a naturalist style in films such as Gomorrah, but argued that all his previous films also have a fairytale aspect to their narratives. Tale of Tales had a budget corresponding to USD$14.5 million. (Via Wikipedia)
