Great folktale!

I'm more used to the version on criterion, but this was pretty awesome too. It's a little bit cheaper (just a little) but the acting carries it, and in my opinion is the better version. Has much more expanded plot than the original, and it gives it a very good vibe. I really loved this movie so to speak. It deals with very dark themes, and it's the reason why I love this story so much. It has a lot of really good elements that make it worth watching. I highly recommend getting the collection that's coming out from Radiance to properly watch this. Very much worth the time. Very good movie is what I'm saying!
