Thursday, April 17 at 6:30 p.m.: Q&A with star Thea Sofie Loch Næss
Facing desperate financial straits, wide-eyed and awkward Elvira prepares for the royal ball, where she must compete with her beautiful new stepsister to capture the attention and riches of the handsome prince. Under her mother’s direction, Elvira subjects herself to dancing lessons, primitive plastic surgery, and much, much, worse, but her swanlike transformation comes at a devastating (and disgusting) price.
Official selection: Sundance, Berlinale
“An impressive feature debut that manages a rare feat: offering a wholly unique version of a classic fairy tale that we’ve never seen before while returning to its violent roots. It’s elegant, stylish, and gnarly.” – Bloody Disgusting
