Who's Afraid of the Wolf Trailers

A 6 year-old girl is transfixed by the Little Red Riding Hood story, which her mother dutifully recounts every night. The tale’s themes of identity confusion and betrayal mirror her own story - who her real mother is and a potential love triangle implicating both her parents.

I saw this a few years ago at the Chicago International Film Festival and it's a great example of why it's worth the time and expense of going to film festivals. It's really a lovely film and it's unfortunate more people don't have a chance to see it. I just recommended it to a friend last night as a good example of a Czech film that isn't dour, but sadly it doesn't seem to be available in the US. I am not ordinarily a great fan of movies about children, but this film is an exception. In the film, a little girl responds to her parents' marital troubles by imagining everything through the lens of a sort of Little Red Riding Hood fantasy. It was graceful and unexpected and I hope some day I'll be able to stream it online or something.
