To celebrate the release of Three Wishes for Cinderella on Blu-Ray available now, we are giving away a Blu-Ray to 2 lucky winners!
Václav Vorlíček’s 1973 reworking of the classic Cinderella story is one of the most beloved films in all Central European cinema. Delightful and unconventional, Three Wishes for Cinderella places the familiar fairy tale into a wintry setting with down-to-earth characters and a feisty and rebellious Cinderella. Far from being just a passive beauty, she is a spirited rider, a champion hunter and takes every opportunity to challenge – and actively pursue – her handsome Prince.
A perennial favourite on television throughout Europe (including as a dubbed BBC serial in the 1970s), Three Wishes for Cinderella continues to enchant with its magic and beauty.
Presented from a 4K restoration and now available for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK.
