If you loved The Heron and the Crane, try El cuento de los cuentos
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Yuri Norstein, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Heron and the Crane, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What El cuento de los cuentos is
Homer without sentimentality. A gray wolf haunts a poet's memories of childhood. Norstein's collage animation evokes Russia's past. A film of haunting beauty.
