Virtual Friday Night Films at the Wende: Tale of Tales
Tale of Tales, dir. Yuri Norstein, 1979, Soviet Union, 29 min.
Presented in conjunction with this week’s Cold War Spaces program, Yuri Norstein’s Tale of Tales is widely acclaimed by critics as the “greatest animated film of all time.” Produced by the Soyuzmultfilm studio, its unconventional narrative meditates on the filmmaker’s recollections of his childhood in post-WWII Russia and the nature of memory itself.
Tale of Tales is free to watch on Vimeo or on Youtube.
