Tale of Tales: Salma Hayek film exclusive clip

The fantastical Tale of Tales (out in theaters and on demand April 22) is the latest movie from filmmaker Matteo Garone (Gomorrah) and is based on a trio of stories by 17th-century folklorist Giambattista Basile. In one of the three royalty-featuring tales, John C. Reilly and Salma Hayek play a king and queen who attempt to conceive a child through very unusual means; in another, Toby Jones is a monarch who marries off his daughter to a brutal ogre while developing a strange obsession with breeding a giant flea; and, in the third, Vincent Cassel is a sex-obsessed ruler who discovers that the woman with whom he has fallen in love is not quite what she seems.
