Dir. Károly Ujj Mészáros
Hungary | Fantasy/comedy | 2015 | 98 min. | Ottawa Premiere

Description: Liza, the Fox-Fairy is an offbeat, sarcastic fairy tale for grown-ups. Still single at thirty, Liza has only her imaginary friend, the ghost of a Japanese crooner from the 50s, to guide her. Some bizarre dating games ensue, but as Lizas beaus pile up in a comical body count, it seems that love isnt for her. Her imagination takes off, and she sees herself becoming a fox-fairy, a demon from Japanese folklore that takes the lives of men. Lizas power becomes deadlier the more she blossoms from dowdy old-maid to foxy lady. Dark, strange, and sexy, Liza, the Fox-Fairy enchants with its black humour and magical aesthetics.
