Opening Night! Director Pablo Berger in person!

Certainly one of the most imaginative takes on Snow White ever filmed, Spain’s nominee for this year’s Foreign Language Oscar chronicles the travails of a young girl, Carmencita, who is born soon after her matador father is terribly gored. Years later, living with her infirm father and wicked stepmother, Carmencita finds solace when she runs off with a band of bullfighting dwarves.
