Comment on The Cat's Windmill (1994)

Here is the original story of the film : Kaķīša Dzirņavas. This work seems to be very popular, and besides, it is based on a group of old religious legends in the Baltic countries.

Though this has its charms (escaping from the wolf's belly with scissors is... novel), I prefer the 1950s animated adaptation. I also think that Sarra Mokil's earlier puppet films were better (she apparently made one more after this, but it doesn't seem to be online anywhere).

Well, cute films like this remind me that always try to say less and do more.



Comment on Masyanya (117). Here's a Fine How-D'Ye-Do (2009)

Well, lately I have seen Netflix fueling the nostalgic trend in cinema. The new films were actually only made in the style of the 1980-90s that meaning the period when the cinema content was still quite poetic and pure, not full of violence and mystery like the decade of the decade 2000-2010s. One particular example is the latest film starring Larisa Oleynik, who has been a part of my childhood. Even though she was not trying to be a professional actress, it turned out that she was still very popular around the world, and so Nick invited her again for branding reasons.



Comment on In the World of Fables (1973)

One of the Hrzhanovskiy films that I don't think had been translated before this. Judging from the comments on another Youtube video, this one gave a lot of Soviet kids nightmares. Indeed, I think I wouldn't recommend it to those not yet in their teens, at least - mainly because there wouldn't be much point, as the cultural references are too layered.

Interesting! I'd love to see it. Could you take some photos (or scans) of it?

This film is very good and famous. It is great because I have a comic book based on it.

Comment on Robbery, ...-Style (1978)

Not all of these segments work, I think (or perhaps they work only if you've seen the films that are being parodied), but the Italian one that begins at 12:50 is still absolutely hilarious.



Comment on A Home for a Snail (2005)

A rather charming little film. As I watched this, I felt more and more that this may have been a little bit inspired by the never-ending rat-race of capitalism...
