About This Movie

The Dragon Ring, directed by Lamberto Bava, unfolds as a two-part Italian fantasy adventure that combines whimsy with darker undertones. The story revolves around Desideria, the daughter of a dragon king, and her magical, adopted sister, Selvaggia. The pacing shifts between lighthearted moments and the tension of familial rivalry as Desideria's search for a husband becomes a battleground for ambition and betrayal. The practical effects are charmingly dated yet captivating, showcasing the imagination of the early '90s Italian cinema. Performances are endearing, with a unique chemistry between the sisters that adds depth to the tale. Overall, it has this distinctively lush atmosphere that feels both enchanting and slightly ominous, a true product of its time.
