Quick Answer

What is Grimm's Fairy Tales for Adults about?

Grimm's Fairy Tales for Adults is a 1969 German comedy-horror film directed by Rolf Thiele that reimagines classic fairy tales like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella with erotic and comedic twists.

Programmer's Pick

If you ever wondered what would happen if the Brothers Grimm took a detour through the adult section, this film has your answer. Rolf Thiele's take on Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella is as much skin as it is satire, with enough nudity and absurdity to make even a magic mirror blush.

Overview

Grimm's Fairy Tales for Adults gives familiar stories an adult-oriented makeover, following two travelers as they encounter iconic fairy tale figures in various states of undress and unconventional peril. The journey includes a nude Snow White fleeing a similarly unclothed, villainous queen, and a Sleeping Beauty who can only be fully awakened by more than just a kiss—though her saviors prove less than up to the task. The anthology format allows for playful, risqué takes on well-known tales, blending folk horror, eroticism, and comedy against a backdrop of enchanted castles and mystical forests. Expect a mix of nudity, surreal humor, and a parade of classic characters behaving in very un-Disney ways.
