Third feature from anarchic comedy trio Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon and Bruno Romy, The Fairy is a colourful burlesque comedy that succeeds in being both charming and hilarious.
Social misfit Dom works the night shift in a small hotel near the
industrial sea port of Le Havre. One night, a woman called
Fiona arrives with no luggage and no shoes and tells Dom she is a
fairy, granting him three wishes. It is love at first sight. After
making two of his wishes come true, Fiona mysteriously disappears.
After searching for her high and low, heart broken Dom eventually
finds her in the psychiatric hospital where she has been committed.
The opening night film of Director's Fortnight in Cannes this year, The Fairy casts a distinctive spell that continues to enchant audiences.
