Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair

RAPUNZEL, LET DOWN YOUR HAIR was the first feature-length production by the London Women's Film Group: It consists of variations on a Grimm fairy tale from a feminist perspective, as film noir, animated film and melodrama. "…a very attractive, perceptive film, which encompasses several knotty problems relevant to feminism today. Breaking with a traditional narrative, Rapunzel's story is retold and reinterpreted, each version using a different movie genre accompanied by a wonderful music score. […] Fairytales were always appealing, but they never made quite so much sense." (Time Out London)
