About

Synopsis

White as Snow (Blanche comme neige, 2019) is a French-Belgian comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Anne Fontaine reworks the Snow White fairy tale into a frank, modern story about desire.

After her father dies, young Claire keeps working at his hotel, now run by her domineering stepmother Maud. When Maud's much younger lover cannot take his eyes off Claire, jealousy curdles into a plan to have her killed. Claire flees to a remote farmhouse, where seven very different men help her find a freedom she never knew at home.

Isabelle Huppert plays the stepmother with chilly precision, while Lou de Laâge turns Claire's awakening into the heart of the film. Fontaine blends folklore, black humor and eroticism until the old tale feels deliciously improper. One for fans of European arthouse with a provocative streak.
