Tale of Tales (2015) [Il racconto dei racconti] :
A few Tweets from Saffron Screen (@Saffronscreen)...
A few Tweets from Saffron Screen (@Saffronscreen)...
-> So Alexandre Desplat's scoring it was a bonus, and - despite huge (intentional ?) ambiguity about era - that the costumes were so good.— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) August 8, 2016
-> Despite acknowledged rootedness in Giambattista Basile's work, one can find Chaucer (The Wife of Bath's / Clerk's Tales) and Gormenghast— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) August 8, 2016
Salma Hayek as The Queen of Longtrellis [an unnecessarily literal translation, from her title in Basile's Neapolitan text ? - which we never hear]

-> The figures are from @IMDb [e.g. https://t.co/lCCCLcwfWr], but the budget of Mistérios de Lisboa (2015) is estimated at €2,500,000...— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) August 8, 2016

Some #UCFF account of Mysteries of Lisbon (Mistérios de Lisboa) (2010) is found here... :https://t.co/H6J2cufSQk https://t.co/xOFeEJSZiR— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) August 8, 2016
Post-script :
One wonders with Matteo Garrone's Tale of Tales (2015) :— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) August 8, 2016
Did the fleshiness of bird and fowl *appeal* to Salma Hayek, or was that bought ?
Thanks for the Retweets, @Saffronscreen !— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) August 8, 2016
Now, after nailing my colours to the mast, to read the SS programme-notes... ! :)
-> As to his, one endorses 'dream-scapes', and the camera being 'always on the move', and in hers to 'baroque' and 'indulgently langorous'— THE AGENT APSLEY (@THEAGENTAPSLEY) August 9, 2016
