Tale of Tales (1979) -
Yuriy Norshteyn
O mica bijuterie pe care am decoperit-o datorita topului TSPDT.
Un scurt-metraj animat, de o caldura si o delicatete coplesitoare. Nostalgia - acest lupusor gri din cantecelul de leagan de la sanul mamei - ne urmareste si ne vegheaza prin intuneric, claxoane si zapezi...
Are parca acea cromatica blanda a diapozitivelor rusesti, din copilarie, imbracand un suprarealism inocent, nebunuelian.

"It’s as if Norshteyn sat with these images all his life, drawing them with such lucidity and palpable depth of feeling, that they make even the untold hours of ingenuity and laborious craft behind Pixar films feel relatively disposable. It summons a concept of the fermented image: a vision that has stayed with a person for as long as they’ve been breathing, and perhaps beyond that, like the wolf that lurks throughout the film, a folkloric figure as old as Russian blood. It’s a vision that nurtures, like the suckling breast that satiates the infant who sees the wolf just as its eyes pull into sleep." -
