850 meters

"850 meters" is a subversive fairytale with all the main characters (knight, princess, dragon) radically different to what one is used to. Inspired in both its visuals and its actual story, it never loses steam for the entire duration, offering alternately hilarious moments and solid action. The final twist is pretty unpredictable too and reinforces the welcome sense of parody that permeates the film. At the same time, the makers acknowledge the pleasure and spectacle such fairytales can offer.
