在这部傻瓜的火焰片中,我所看过根据爱伦坡小说改编的电影中最超现实的一部。影像很怪诞的一部电视电影。茱莉泰摩是美国著名的女玩偶制作家。
Eerie,strange and beautiful adaptation of great Poe story
I accidently caught this strange and beautiful tv movie when it first aired in the early 90's, while I was on a ski trip. With its weird and eerie and incredibly beautiful fairy tale atmosphere it is very reminiscent of Jim Henson's "Storyteller", and it's a shame that it only seems to have aired once and never rerun. I have no idea whether it's available on video or not, but if you can find it, I highly recommend watching it, and reading the Edgar Allen Poe story(titled "Hopfrog") it is based on as well.
A crippled dwarf is forced to become jester to a tyrannical king, but when the king abuses a beautiful dwarf with whom the jester is in love the jester plots a terrible revenge.
