A sulphurous and quirky comedy

Modern and revisited version of the German tale set in shape by the Grimm brothers in 1812 and popularized all over the world by Walt Disney in 1937. It's funny, inventive, subversive, free and mature. Although the movie slightly flounders during the first thirty minutes, Anne Fontaine dares! The wicked witch imbued with her person is replaced by an unscrupulous woman disappointed by her unfaithful husband, and the seven dwarves are partially replaced by ...guess what!... sex friends, the movie openly flirting with eroticism. Lou de Laâge, Isabelle Huppert, Vincent Macaigne and Benoît Poelvoorde are awesome.

Disappointing..

Always liked to see or read modern version of old tales.I expect mystery,playfulness,humour,surprise...

Thé idea of a modern Snow White,thé begining on the pure beautiful face of Lou de Laage in contrast with thé classic and somehow desperate elegance of Isabelle Huppert,seemed promising.

What a disappointement !!The only thing that keeps going is a Snow White asserting her freedom in non convincing sex -scenes,with men that have to seem lost and inconsistent in ordre to satisfy a bad-feminist cliché.(so sorry for Poelveerde that does his best to save his dwarf charecter that is realy funny). Not to mention thé wonderful Isabelle Huppert that can not express any real « step-mother feelings » because thé scenario is so poor and thé directing so linear.

Sorry to say but this modern story is just a set of old cliches.

Snow White and the Seven Cretins

Remembering the first runs of masterpieces from the likes of Cocteau, Buñuel, and Polanski, I welcome seeing their Surrealist tradition carried on. Perhaps younger audiences sense this film offending against wokeness somehow., and won't grant themselves permission to like it. (It does call to mind a famous 1995 porn version of Snow White.) This droll send-up does not disappoint at all.
