A movie with cult status
The 1973 film adaptation by Czech director Václav Vorlícek (1930-2019) is a cult film for many people. Made as a co-production between the Czech Republic and East Germany, you can't avoid the film at this time of year. It has been one of the most-watched Christmas films in German-speaking countries since the 1970s.
The story revolves around the young Cinderella, who is bullied by her stepmother and her daughter. However, she doesn't put up with anything and is even able to win the heart of the prince in the end.
The film not only impresses with a heart-warming storyline and a bit of kitsch, but also with its music, the snowy landscapes, the whimsical atmosphere, the costumes - and the acting of Libuše Šafránková (1953-2021), the sly character par excellence.
