In Minneapolis, they don't even play the old fairy tales straight: in this fall's dark adaptation of Hansel and Gretel, two children are left in the woods not by an evil stepmother but by two loving parents who simply don't have enough money to feed them--and the story is turned into a commentary on poverty and hunger...
