Zgodba o zgodbi / Skazka skazok / Tale of Tales

Jurij Norstein

USSR , 1979, 35mm, 27'55''

A reflection of Russian history and memory. Norstein creates a visual emotional response to a changing Russia, followed in the eyes of the Little Grey Wolf spying on various people's lives, and giving an insight on Russian culture in the 20th Century.

 

Tale of Tales, the masterpiece of Yuri Norstein, is a visual poem, a nostalgia for the past which reaches an emotional depth that is never forgotten. With it's beautiful scenery, the haunting lullaby and the little grey wolf, it is full of melancholy, wonder and memories of the childhood. It is like a dream; nothing makes sense but everything is felt very intensely. Personally, having lived through 8 years of war in my country, I relate to scenes of this film on a very emotional level.
