Det var en gang en Cherrox

About This Movie

So, Det var en gang en Cherrox, from 2006, is this quirky little take on the Sleeping Beauty tale, but with its own peculiar charm. You’ve got this blend of whimsical love and the kind of fatherly fury that’s both amusing and absurd. The pacing is a little off-kilter, which adds to its charm, giving it that kind of homemade feel. The practical effects, albeit modest, have a certain rawness that you can appreciate. And those Cherrox boots, they just bring this whole other layer to the narrative, don’t you think? It has a vibe that’s pretty unique, a mix of fairy tale and modern absurdity that makes it kind of memorable in its own way.

This film is not widely available, with limited releases and even fewer collector editions on the market, making it a bit of a hidden gem. There’s a certain niche interest among collectors who enjoy international adaptations of classic tales, and it’s intriguing how it contrasts traditional storytelling with contemporary styles. It’s one of those pieces that might not have the most polished presentation, yet has a heart that draws you in, making it noteworthy for those who appreciate offbeat cinema.
