Passepartout is all about documentaries and visual stuff I find worth seeing.

Bear Linden Leg: a soviet animation as old as I am

This 1984 animation was made after a Russian folk tale. I really love the drawings and the voices the animals have, a bit too dramatic and theatrical, and too human to belong to animals. These deep grave voices and a certain bitter-sweetness are a characteristic of most old-school Soviet animations. These animations are largely unexplored in film theory and history, especially outside Russia. And many of them are great and tell stories about friendship and values. Take a look at Hedgehog in the Fog as well, it is probably one of the best Soviet animations ever.

Bear – Linden Leg (Medved – Lipovaja Noga) was made at the Soyuztelefilm film studio and directed by Dmitri Nahumov.
