Tale of the Star-Child

1983 · 129 min Family Science Fiction Fantasy
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

"Tale of the Star Child" is a two-part television film, based on the works of Oscar Wilde. Like the earlier film, The Star Boy (1958), The Tale of the Star Boy, was based on two tales from Wilde's collection "A House of Pomegranates" - The Star-Child (1891) and The Birthday of the Infanta (1888) . However, the plot, in contrast to the first screen version, made more significant changes: in particular, added science-fiction elements and completely eliminated magic.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Tale of the Star-Child is an acquired taste at 5.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1983. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
