Imagery can go a long way towards selling me on a film, and I’m guessing that’s what the people behind The Tale of Tales are banking on, because this trailer is almost all crazy imagery with very little in the way of plot or dialogue. The film is based on a 17th century collection of fairytales, and I’m sure if I consulted my folklorist girlfriend I’d be able to tell you what it’s about, but who wants clarity when you have Salma Hayek eating a dragon’s heart?
The Tale of Tales comes out in France on July 1, 2015. No word yet as to when it might hit North America.
