Connections, in both directions
Red Riding Hood (2011)
Directed by Catherine Hardwicke
influenced by Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970)
A sister to the heroines of "Thirteen" and other Hardwicke films, Valerie -- her name likely borrowed from the magical 1970 Czech horor-fantasy, "Valerie and Her Week of Wonders" -- is threatened not just by wolves of varying degrees of hairiness but by a heritage of abuse and dysfunction that, as manifested in the real world, is no fairy tale.
The Witch (2016)
Directed by Robert Eggers
influenced by Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970)
Themes
It parallels Jaromil Jireš's Valerie and her Week of Wonders in its tale of budding sex and the surreal phantasmagoria that explodes in the imagination around such a thing.
Elvira Madigan (1967)
Directed by Bo Widerberg
influenced Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970)
Visuals
Shot in the lyrical Elvira Madigan mode, this celebrates the 'first stirrings of adolescence' of a beautiful young girl in a vaguely-defined Transylvanian townscape sometime in the last century.
