If you loved The Heron and the Crane, try Tale of Tales
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
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 Tale of Tales 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.
