Hansel and Gretel

A re-imagining of the classic Brothers Grimm Tale. Hansel and Gretel are brother and sister, wandering through a cold, bleak landscape in a surreal and uncertain world. With the last of their food gone, they stumble across a beautiful house decorated with flowers and sweets, and a freshly baked pie cooling on the window outside. A friendly, rosy-cheeked lady invites them inside and treats them to the luxurious spread she has prepared. But in the cold light of the next morning, Hansel's absence at breakfast suggests to Gretel that the old woman's love of baking may mask a far more sinister obsession than she ever imagined, and she must save her brother before it is too late...

Directed by Ella Jones, Hansel and Gretel leans on a strong ensemble — James Bloor, Norma Jones, Lola Seaton — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2013.
