Additional InformationThis fantasy epic adapts three fairy tales by 17th century Neapolitan writer Giambattista Basile, each one focusing on the royalty in neighboring kingdoms. In one, a king (John C. Reilly) goes off to cut the heart out of a sea monster, which could be the key to curing his wife (Salma Hayek) of infertility; in another, a dim-witted ruler (Toby Jones) neglects his daughter's search for a husband as he becomes obsessed with a flea that grows to enormous size; in the last tale, an oversexed monarch (Vincent Cassel) is bewitched by an elderly woman with a beautiful singing voice.
ReviewsTotal Film - Dark, gory and gruesome, this isn't kids' stuff. As a work of gothic imagination, it's a rare treat.

  • Engrossing.

    What a storyline that is captivating and intriguing from minute one. The element of mystery, magic and mayhem all rolled into delightful characters. The realisation that sometimes your own worst enemy is ourselves. This is a unquie imaginative tale. A daze of wit and charm.
