Cinderella and her little Angels

About This Movie

"Cinderella and her little Angels" is a real curiosity from 1959, capturing a quaint charm that's hard to find in more mainstream fare. The story centers on Lin Fu, a tailor with a whimsical side, talking to his mannequins as if they were old friends, which gives the film an almost dreamlike quality. The pacing is slow, allowing for reflections on loneliness and connection, particularly with the orphanage kids who lend their innocent touch to Lin Fu's shop. It's not about grand narratives but rather the small, poignant moments that make it distinctive. The performances have a certain earnestness that enhances the film's fairy-tale atmosphere, making it a hidden gem for those who appreciate the unconventional in cinema.

This film has seen limited distribution over the years, making its physical copies somewhat rare among collectors. Though the director remains unknown, the unique narrative and atmosphere have piqued interest, particularly for those who seek out offbeat and lesser-known films. Various formats have emerged, yet original prints hold a particular allure due to their scarcity and the film’s enchanting themes.
