The Belgian filmmakers behind Iceberg and Rumba bring us another irresistible slapstick confection. In the port city of Le Havre, a hotel clerk (Dominique Abel) falls for an enchanting woman (Fiona Gordon) who is either a fairy or a mental patient. After granting him two wishes, though, she disappears. His search for her involves a series of inspired stunts and setpieces that will make your jaw drop. And since most of this is nonverbal, the film will entertain viewers of all ages. “The Fairy may be as close as we'll ever get to a live-action cartoon” (Boston Globe). In French with English subtitles.
