Really not as bad as everyone’s said! It’s definitely a Terry Gilliam movie, with the twisted humor that entails, and you can definitely tell that the studio hacked at the script and the editing. Nonetheless, it’s a spooky and silly tale of the famous fairytale collectors reimagined as supernatural Nancy Drews. The costumes are fab, most especially Monica Bellucci as an evil queen. The film is set in the Napoleonic era, and costumer Gabriella Pescucci (always wonderful) does a great job of creating convincing lower class wear that is suitably influenced by the high waistlines etc. of the era.
