Cinderella [DVD]

Product Information

This movie rather fudges that climactic moment, but has charm in its goofy way: a good-natured and easygoing revival.

After a young fashion designer runs afoul of her corrupt stepmother and stepsisters, she dons a disguise to help save the family business for her father. Finley Tremaine, a small town farm girl, longs to spread her wings and soar as an aspiring performer. Eager to support her loving father, she finds herself at the mercy of her jealous and cruel new family.The moody and almost extraterrestrially handsome Prince Robert (Nicholas Galitzine) is yearning for true love, unlike Cinderella, whose emotions are focused elsewhere: she wants professional recognition for her vocation as a fashion designer and dressmaker. However, like many film productions at the time shooting was suspended in March due to the pandemic, with filming then resuming in August 2020 and wrapping in September. Although mistreated by her cruel stepmother and stepsisters, Cinderella is able to attend the royal ball through the help of a fairy godmother.

Actually, Branagh’s version, like the notorious 1977 soft-porn musical The Other Cinderella, was a little bit more candid about the fitting of the glass slipper, with all its Freudian associations. Our ambitious heroine has big dreams and with the help of her fab Godmother, she perseveres to make them come true. When Cinderella's cruel stepmother prevents her from attending the Royal Ball, she gets some unexpected help from the lovable mice Gus and Jaq and from her Fairy Godmother. A contemporary musical version of the classic Cinderella story in which the servant step daughter hope to compete in a musical competition for a famous pop star. Routinely exploited by her wicked stepmother, the downtrodden Samantha Montgomery is excited about the prospect of meeting her Internet beau at the school's Halloween dance.A kind-hearted orphan lives with her emotionally abusive relatives until a popular boy takes an interest after accidentally killing her cat.
