Cinderella and Prince Charming met on an equal footing Friday at the Berlin film festival in a modern retelling of the fairy tale by Kenneth Branagh, with Cate Blanchett as a gambling, hard-drinking Wicked Stepmother. "Cinderella", a Disney production, has been dubbed a "feminist" live-action twist on the story of a girl's dreams coming true. Lily James, 25, of the "Downton Abbey" television series, plays the orphaned young woman who becomes virtually enslaved by her cruel stepmother and stepsisters. Branagh said that he wanted to adapt the traditional tale in which a handsome prince whisks her away from a life of drudgery to become his queen and tell a story of love between equals.
