A scene from the animated film “Fairytale”
The director of Francophone And Russian Ark he never stops circling his obsessions: history and power on the one hand, formal innovation on the other.
Seven years of work required this very bizarre film, in fact a “deepfake”, with Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and Churchill as protagonists.
Archive images reworked immersed in Dante’s hell where the protagonists of the history of the ‘900 they wait in front of Heaven’s Gate where Napoleon (the first imperialist?) stands guard. Monologue like children of jokes, never of the great drawings, while their dreams of glory dissolve in the indistinct mass of the common damned.
LEGEND:
✦ modest
✦✦ good
✦✦✦ excellent
✦✦✦✦ masterpiece
