Tale Of Tales (2015) ***

Tale Of Tales (2015) is a beautifully filmed fantasy drama from director Matteo Garrone, based on tales by Italian poet Giambattista Basile. The only other Garrone film I've seen is his acclaimed Gomorrah (2008) (my review here), which I enjoyed a bit more. TOT was really gorgeous to look at, I liked all three storylines, the performances were fine, and I appreciate that it doesn't shy away from the darker aspects of the material but it didn't leave a lasting impression, at least not after this initial viewing.
