Cinderella and the Man Who Had No Trousers

About This Movie

Cinderella and the Man Who Had No Trousers is a curious mix of drama and understated storytelling. It dives into the unique bond between Maja and Nikulás, where the pacing allows for a gradual build-up of their relationship. The atmosphere is often tense, especially as Bergur’s jealousy simmers beneath the surface. There's this interesting layer of inheritance tied to a seemingly mundane object, a Chinese vase, which adds a twist to the narrative. The performances feel authentic, with a palpable sense of vulnerability from the characters. The film explores themes of friendship, trust, and the impact of familial ties with a touch of whimsy—definitely a distinctive piece in the landscape of 80s TV movies.
