The Only Animated Film Ever Banned by Soviet Censors (1968)
- h4nkoslo 10y agoMy favorite Soviet-era film is Shooting Gallery. Fantastic jazz (!) soundtrack & minimal to no dialogue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRSsybt9wAo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRSsybt9wAo

- MichaelMoser123 10y agoi think that censorship had an element of arbitrariness; for example it is strange that they let this one through. (also i guess 1968 was bad timing because of a clampdown that followed the invasion of Czechoslovakia) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uDtxGnYPTQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uDtxGnYPTQ Also they had some quite surrealist animations during the seventies, like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAWPgwSWEco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAWPgwSWEco or this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVtJudhNXiY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVtJudhNXiY

- tombert 10y agoThese animations always remind me of something you'd see in Monty Python by Terry Gilliam.
- Razengan 10y agoSpeaking of animated films and Russia, if you're a fan of good sci-fi and/or foreign movies, I wholeheartedly recommend checking out Koo! Kin-Dza-Dza [1] This has to be one of the best depictions of a truly alien world I've ever seen, mostly due to how the locals behave and their strange customs.
