Grimm

Drawing inspiration from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Brother and Sister" and obviously influenced by spaghetti Westerns and urban legends, Alex van Warmerdam borrows the classic "Once upon a time…" intro to build his own bizarre fairy tale.

"Grimm" tells the incredible story of two siblings, Marie and Jacob, who, despite their advanced age, have been abandoned by their family in the woods. They initially travel to Spain to reunite with their uncle, only to find out he has died in an accident. Marie’s unexpected encounter with Diego, a rich surgeon, will transport the siblings to the comforts of his mansion.

Diego wants to marry the charming girl, but his feelings towards Jacob aren’t exactly friendly. The situation spins out of control when Diego sets his macabre plan in motion to transplant unsuspecting Jacob’s kidney into his ailing sister. K.Th.
