Synopsis
Aschenputtel (2011) is a German TV movie you can watch online on iFILM, adapted from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale by director Uwe Janson. No pumpkin carriage. Instead: a mother's grave, white doves, and a stepmother who is cold rather than cartoonish.
Aylin Tezel plays Cinderella — sent into the forest to sell piglets, where she runs into a hunter who turns out to be Prince Victor. Florian Bartholomäi plays the prince. Barbara Auer plays the stepmother without softening her at all. At 58 minutes, the film moves briskly and trusts the Grimm material rather than reinventing it. A clean retelling that holds up for family viewing. Watch Aschenputtel online on iFILM.
