About the film

If the shoe doesn't fit...

What it’s about

When her mother marries a supposedly rich widower, his sudden death leaves the family in even greater debt. Elvira, the unlovely older stepsister of the beautiful Agnes, dreams of marrying the Prince. To shine at the upcoming ball, she agrees to a nose operation her mother sees as a profitable investment.

What hooks you

Emilie Blichfeldt directs this darkly comic twist on a classic fairy tale. The cast includes Lea Myren as Elvira and Ane Dahl Torp as Rebekka. The film was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best International Film and an Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.

Who it’s for

It suits viewers who enjoy darkly comic horror that critiques beauty standards, and those drawn to psychological and body horror with a satirical edge. It will appeal to those who like independent cinema that reimagines familiar stories in unsettling ways.
