Our suggestions
In this award-winning take on Snow White set in 1920s Seville, the heroine is a female bullfighter. The city’s ambiance, the bullfighting tradition, and the era’s charm deliver a tale of courage, challenge, and enchantment.
"Directed by Spanish filmmaker Pablo Berger (who would later direct Robot Dreams), this 2012 version of Snow White (or Blancanieves, as it's originally titled) is one of the most interesting adaptations ever made, as it shifts the setting to 1920s Seville (Spain), filtered through a gothic vision shot in black and white. This Goya-winning film draws from elements of the classic Brothers Grimm tale but also from other classic fairy tales. A great film if you're interested in imagining a deeply original version of a classic story."
