THE TALE OF KING CRAB film still

The films of Werner Herzog and Sergio Leone are evoked in this two-part saga inspired by a folktale told by some elderly Italian hunters. This late 19th-century, magical realist legend centers on an ornery village drunk who is exiled to Tierra del Fuego after a violent dispute with the local prince. In Argentina, this exile searches for a fabled Spanish treasure with the help of a giant crab. “An engaging and thought-provoking film.” –Screen Int’l. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 106 min.
