Fairy-tales

[Desire]

I love this thread so much too. I just saw the play into the woods, which inspired me a lot...all those fairy tales rolled into one!

also, this whole theme just seems so appropriate in light of the release of narnia.



utopia great pictures



Loving this trend!!

Today I saw "the Brothers Grimm" movie and I was utterly and madly in love .... the "Little red riding hood" sequence is to die for!

 

[ultramarine]

Hum ... I've always loved short stories ... children stories ... Charles Perrault's ones with Gustav Dore's engravings are masterpieces. (Shud I credit the images? They're not copyrighted cuz they're way too old)

This is one's called "Blue beard"

Red riding hood

Puss in boots!

I love them, I know they had some Cinderella editorial in Bazaar's November (or December) 2005 Issue.

great thread.

I haven't checked this thread in a while but.. ultra*,love BlueBeard!! But LRRH will always be my favourite somehow. I saw Bros. Grimm too....probably the only good things about that film were the scenario's with red riding hood and Hansel & Gretel. The landscape in correlation with the characters were beautifully done. Too bad that was all. Otherwise,I think it was a bit lacklustre as a whole. I actually just ordered "The Company of Wolves" btw,as the screen caps that were posted earlier in the thread really took me. I hope it's good. I also got the one I mentioned too...Snow White: A Tale of Terror. Jennifer,beautiful images Thank you!

 

[DosViolines]

^ "The Company of Wolves" is great.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope you will too
Let me know what you think of it

I liked the idea behind "Snow White: A Tale of Terror", but I was kinda dissapointed .
I can't remember what I disliked about it (it's been a while), so...good luck with that one

 

[Scott]

^great! You know,I only saw a few scenes of SW when it was on telly....I thought Sigourney Weaver was brilliant in some of them. Everything I read about it though said it was probably the closest adaptation of the original story than anybody's interpreted visually. So that persuaded me I'll let you know definitely

 

[jennifer~]

You're welcome, Scott!!

great thread.

I've grown too attached

I completely agree ... the movie ticket was totally worth for the Lil Red Riding hoog sequence ... beautiful!

 

[Scott]

I have to post these-so beautiful!. It's from the pages of the new Antwerp Academy magazine +1 which has has the final year students working with the established Belgian designers(Walter Van Beirendonck is modelling!!).
