Blancanieves

Synopsis

Once upon a time there was a little girl who had never known her mother. She learned the art of her father, a famous bullfighter, but was hated by her evil stepmother. One day she ran away with a troupe of dwarves, and became a legend. Set in southern Spain in the 1920s, BLANCANIEVES is a tribute to silent film.

Director's comment

BLANCANIEVES IS…

A SENSORY EXPERIENCE
The viewer must feel rather than think, and be led by a story told only through images and music.
Film as ceremony and cathartic experience.

A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME
The film is a careful recreation of the unforgettable twenties in Spain: the wardrobe, the hats, the cars… No detail has been overlooked.

A FAIRY TALE IN IMAGES
The film captivates our inner child. The audience will feel like they’re sitting on my lap, being told a story full of fantasy, drama, horror and dark humour. Once upon a time…

ABOUT EMOTIONS
A sincere glance can contain all the tension of the boldest action.
As Norma Desmond said in Sunset Blvd, “We did not need dialogue. We had faces”.

A TRIBUTE TO CINEMA
By the end of the 1920s the language of cinema had been completely developed and great masterpieces had been created. Blancanieves is not a copy but a reinterpretation of the films of that era for today’s audience.

A MUSICAL
The presence of Alfonso de Vilallonga’s extraordinary music, from the opening credits until the end of the film, intensifies the emotions and deepest feelings of the protagonists. The music is their voice.

A GOTHIC MELODRAMA
The film is true to the dark spirit of the popular tale from the Brothers Grimm. I use melodrama as a way of pushing the limits of characters in extreme situations. Keep your handkerchiefs handy.

A LOVE STORY
The film is a reflection about love as a school of pain and as a demystifying filter to face the ups and downs of life. Love, then you exist.

AN INTERNATIONAL CO-PRODUCTION
We have joined artistic and financial resources with other European countries to carry out this exciting adventure. A local film for the global market.

THE MOST POPULAR FAIRY TALE CHARACTER
Upon pronouncing BLAN-CA-NIE-VES everyone envisages a beautiful girl, a wicked stepmother and seven captivating dwarfs. Our version has all that and much more. Step right up ladies and gentlemen…
