K030 DVD Old Soviet Film: The Stone Flower. There is also a ballet of the same name. ★★Condition: A beautiful item. Includes a Japanese booklet. ★★The first color film seen by post-war Japanese people. Even now, you wouldn't think it was made 79 years ago. The Japanese subtitles for the music and dialogue are poetic and very beautiful. Old Russian literature & movies were good, weren't they? We recommend watching the ballet & movie together. Screen size: 4:3. The screen looks clean. Time: 1 hour 20 minutes (Japanese subtitles) Production: 1946 (79 years ago) Production: Old Soviet Union ★★★The following is quoted from reviews on the web, please use them as a reference. A fantasy film based on a Ural folk tale. It's the first color film of the Soviet Union, expressing the unique climate of Russia with colors from the unstable color technology of the time, and it had a great influence on later fantasy works. ① A 1946 color film directed by Alexander Ptushko, the first color film of the Soviet Union. A fantasy based on a folk tale from the Raul region. The visuals with the unique colors of Sovcolor are truly a fairy tale world. The fantastic direction using huge set photography and overlaps is beautiful. However, the storytelling and character depictions are a bit rough, which is a great shame (but also refreshing). ② The inside of the cave that holds the phantom Stone Flower sparkles like crazy˚✧₊⁎❝᷀ົཽ≀ˍ̮ ❝᷀ົཽ⁎⁺˳✧༚ I wonder if the Snow White's seven dwarfs' workplace is like this. The Queen's seven costume changes are also wonderful. The roughness of the story in the second half is also very Russian. ③ As seen in the Russian version of "The Snow Queen," a strong-willed woman (or girl) with an admirable, pure heart leads the story. Therefore, even if it's slow at first, you gradually get drawn into the story. The way it ends with a Happy End is something that even a skeptical person like me would think, "Well, that's okay." But, (after seeing this story), I have come to ima (have) a good sense of "strong" (arrogance, selfishness, etc. are out of the question) in a good way... or so it seems (meaning I was positively influenced). ④ My mother saw this movie right after the war. She still talks about how she can't forget the fantastic beauty. The content is moral. The place where the Stone Flower shines is still beautiful even now. It's beautiful. You can feel the aesthetic sense of Russia, the country of art. It's a wonderful work with images that cleanse the heart.
