Spain
Brilliant re-imagining of the Snow White story...transported to Spain with flamenco, mantillas, bullfights...the whole shebang. The requisite dwarfs were itinerant bullfighting entertainers.
Silent, high-contrast black and white photography, outstanding compositions, cine, editing. After last year's The Artist this just might mean a resurgence of silents to the mainstream. Since we were dealing with a Grimm tale here the story was easily reduced to forms easily understood with gestures, facial expressions, body language.
A triumph of imagination, and cinematic skill.
