Touching work of art that is bittersweet. Dealing with loss in a mirror reality, confronted with fear, anxiety, anger. At the same time reflecting on how blind we are to death, and suffering until we are face to face. Beautiful feature, very poetic, beautiful music. Unfortunately I do not know translation to the Spanish song in the film. If anyone can post a translation that would be appreciated. Overall this animation is skillfully done, with excellent taste. In 2013 some of the "muerte" art may seem cliché, as it is everywhere right now. But back in 2001 I am sure it looked more fresh. Having experienced a deep personal loss very recently, I was very moved by this film.
If you are not familiar with Russian pop culture you will not get anything out of this movie besides grotesque scenes of action and bizarre dialog. In reality this movie pays a great homage to the old soviet spy movies. Especially the cult spy series "twelve moments of spring", from which it borrows most of the characters. It is also relentlessly pokes in the most satirical way at todays new Moscow corporate Russia, by presenting it in the form of the third Reich. This movie is comedy genius. Great selection of actors, with some Russian comedy heavy weights. I struggle to see how anyone non Russian would get what the movie is about. But if you watch it, don't judge it as it is not made for the Western audience.
