Three Wishes For Cinderella (BLU-RAY)

Václav Vorlíček's 1973 reworking of the classic Cinderella is one of the most beloved films in all Central European cinema. Delightful and unconventional, Three Wishes for Cinderella places the familiar fairy tale into a wintry setting with down-to-earth characters and a feisty and rebellious Cinderella. Far from being just a passive beauty, she is a spirited rider, a champion hunter and takes every opportunity to challenge - and actively pursue - her handsome Prince. A perennial favourite on television throughout Europe (including a broacast as a dubbed BBC serial in the 1970s), Three Wishes for Cinderella continues to enchant with its magic and beauty. Second Run are delighted to present this much-loved classic film in its original Czech version, presented from a 4K restoration and now available for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK. Three Wishes for Cinderella is presented in a 4K restoration of the film by the Czech National Film Archive and includes a new, exclusive and expansive filmed appreciation by writer, producer and film historian Michael Brooke, two early Czech film versions of the Cinderalla story, plus a booklet featuring an essay on the film by film critic and historian Tim Lucas and more!
