Blanche Comme Neige (aka White As Snow) (2019)

When a beautiful but introverted young girl (Lou De Laage) unintentionally provokes the furious jealousy of her neurotic stepmother (Isabelle Huppert), the stepmother hires an assassin to kill her. But the girl escapes through the woods and finds herself in a small French mountain town. It is there that she blooms when she becomes the center of attention to seven different men. Directed by Anne Fontaine (COCO AVANT CHANEL), this clever but dark take on the Snow White fairy tale is very well done. De Laage's "Snow White" is not an innocent princess but a young woman on the brink of discovering her sexuality and when she finds it, she can't stop. Huppert's wicked stepmother isn't one dimensional but an aging beauty who fears the loss of her attractiveness and her ability to hold on to men, specifically her lover (Benoit Poelvoorde). The seven "dwarfs" become an eclectic group of men, each one different from the other but all under the enchanting De Laage's spell. With Charles Berling, Damien Bonnard, Jonathan Cohen, Richard Frechette, Vincent Macaigne and Pablo Pauly.
