A genre-bending update of the Hansel and Gretel story, GRIMM is a Dutch film directed by Alex van Warmerdam. Young adults Jacob and Marie are abandoned in the woods by their father, with only a note in Jacob's pocket to guide them: advice from their mother to travel to Spain and see their wealthy uncle. When they reach the warm and sunny country, a far cry from their cold and snowy home, Marie meets the sinister Don Diego, who charms and marries her, much to Jacob's displeasure. His suspicions may be well-founded, however, when he discovers that Diego is involved in criminal activities that put both he and Marie at risk. Combining black comedy, mystery, suspense, and absurdity, GRIMM is a unique Dutch fairy tale.
