Abstract

This paper explores La Fée Verte (2007). This film provides a cyclical twist on a well-known myth. Within the stability of the myth of La Fée Verte, Storm changes the legend, only slightly. Theoretically, this film provides a unique narrative structure for a traditional, linear myth, and the possibility of revitalizing or rethinking other traditional myths. Rhetorically, the film both entrenches and rejects patriarchy. Pragmatically, the film is beautiful, entertaining, and inspiring.
