Episode 72 of One Week Only! This week's key film is "The Girl Without Hands," a stunningly beautiful animated drama adapted from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale about a young peasant girl who loses her hands when she will not submit to the Devil. Directed and animated by Sébastien Laudenbach, this a gorgeous piece of art that tells a harsh & painful story of good vs evil with lush, painterly animation that flows effortlessly from scene to scene. Now Playing in New York, it's an incredible achievement in the field of animation. (34:20)
We also review the abstract coming-of-age drama "Kékszakállú" from Argentina, directed by Gastón Solnicki (5:05); the twisted Mexican sci-fi drama "The Untamed" directed by Amat Escalante (13:05); and the inspiring period sports drama "The Fencer" from Finland & Estonia, directed by Klaus Härö (23:35).
