157. FILMS OF FAERIE 5: Fairy Tales in the Modern Day
Manage episode 385532838 series 3045117
For the final episode of the fairy tale series, Alex and Jonathan take a look at three films that transpose classic fairy tale stories onto the setting of the modern day: The Red Shoes (1948), Ponyo (2008), and Undine (2020). We discuss how fairy tale elements can help us look at the ordinary parts of life with a new appreciation, how the form and style of a film affects the perception of the magical elements, and ways to incorporate the unknown into modern storytelling.

- (27:59) – Ponyo
- (54:53) – Undine
