Fairytale - Una fiaba

Sokurov has definitely surpassed Herman's "It's Hard to Be a God". Definitely. (but not "Khrustalev, car" - well and that would be superfluous...) The use of VR and AI (in a way - because, it's not making Michael Jackson sing again, nor it's making ABBA young - but it's AI+VR to me) - was a brilliant solution. It merges feelings from "The Lord of the Rings" with those from Cocteau' "Testament of Orpheus". I would even add Murnau... So, it's dreamy, B&W, nonlogical, whimsical, fun - and with a second meaning... To boil all that in one charade - really takes a genius.

Putting Sokurov in one row not only with Herman, but Tarkovsky as well.

Enjoyable experince.
