'Three Wishes for Cinderella' Director: Václav Vorlíček (1973) Second Run Blu-ray | 4K restoration | Region Free | Czech w/ English subtitles
Václav Vorlíček's 1973 reworking of the classic Cinderella is one of the most beloved films in all Central European cinema. Delightful and unconventional, Three Wishes for Cinderella places the familiar fairy tale into a wintry setting with down-to-earth characters and a feisty and rebellious Cinderella. Far from being just a passive beauty, she is a spirited rider, a champion hunter and takes every opportunity to challenge - and actively pursue - her handsome Prince.
A perennial favourite on television throughout Europe (including a broacast as a dubbed BBC serial in the 1970s), Three Wishes for Cinderella continues to enchant with its magic and beauty.
