    • Trivia
      Director Alex van Warmerdam hated the original cut of the film that was edited by Stefan Kamp, and has since excluded it from every retrospective and DVD box-set of his collected works. As an experiment, he started to re-edit a few scenes on video with Job ter Burg, his regular editor since The Last Days of Emma Blank (2009). The result was so satisfying that they secured time and budget to re-edit the entire movie over a period of four years. The new version was released at the 2019 Dutch Film Festival, and received a new theatrical run. Van Warmerdam has been quoted as saying that viewers should throw the old cut of the film in the trashcan.

    grimmer and grimmer
    In a loose adaptation of "Hansel and Gretel", Dutch siblings Jacob and Marie are abandoned by their parents and eventually make their way to Spain. In Spain, Marie marries surgeon Diego. Everything looks normal at first, but it becomes apparent that Diego might not be quite what he seems, especially after Jacob tries to drag Marie away from him.

    What's really neat about "Grimm" is how it plays with the audience. After they leave the Netherlands, you think that the movie's important part has already happened, but you're wrong. Dead wrong. That door in Diego's house gives me the feeling that along with "Hansel and Gretel", there's also a tinge of "Bluebeard" here. And I wonder if that town at the end is the one where they filmed the spaghetti westerns. All in all, this is black comedy at its neatest.
