Timeless Czech fantasy THREE WISHES FOR CINDERELLA (1973)
December 28 : 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
“The most popular Czech movie fairytale, watched every Christmas by all generations!” – Radio Prague
This enchanting Czech Christmas classic has become a Central European yuletide staple thanks to its perennial presence on television each holiday season. A charming, spirited twist on the classic fairy tale, THREE WISHES FOR CINDERELLA (more literally translated from its Czech title as “Three Chestnuts for Cinderella”) updates the beloved story with a picturesque, woodsy wintertime setting and a refreshingly sharp-witted, assertive heroine (Libuše Šafránková), a housemaid who uses her wits and many talents—along with a bit of help from some magical hazelnuts—to win her prince and find her happily ever after.
This film is screening as part of our December series, IT’S KIND OF A CHRISTMAS MOVIE, showcasing some off-beat Yuletide(ish) tales to warm your soul this winter.
