Absolutely loved the technique, colours and surrealist scenes on this! Will definitely save it on a playlist

I agree, this is one of my favourites as well. Also, for how abstract and metaphorical parts of it are, it is surprisingly well-received by children.
I've got to add more of Hrzhanovskiy's films on here, but many of them require attentive and careful translation (such as his famous Pushkin trilogy).

Will try to watch them !
Despite the "weirdness" of the film, the metaphore is quite simple so o I wouldn't be surprised if kids understood it, but I'm also surprised how kids weren't scared of the surrealism and disturbing scenes haha, but I guess it was the times
