"Babochka" or "Butterfly" is a Soviet 10-minute short film from 1972, so it has its 45th anniversary next year. The director is Andrey Khrzhanovskiy and the script comes from Roza Khusnutdinova. I must say I only liked parts here like when the boy is trying to catch the butterfly, but then roles are reversed and the butterfly catches him all of a sudden. But on many occasions, this film lost itself trying to be as creative and mind-blowing as possible and not only sacrificed realism for it, but also quality storytelling, because it felt pretentious quickly and I guess this is one rare occasions where you can actually describe a Soviet animated movie as style over substance. I personally think the bad outweighs the good here and I don't recommend the watch. Thumbs down.
