What actually is "The Tale of Tales"? It is a poem-film. This is a poem-film; that is its genre. That is ,it is visual philosophy.
In Yuri's film, a candle lights inside a jar,inside a glass jar a candle lights,and this cat spits and puts out the candle. I've never seen such a candle in any other film. He made ne believe that this cat is real.
"The Tale of Tales" is considered to be "the best animated film of all times and nations." When Yuri was asked what "Tale of Tales" is about, he answered quite simply: "about eternity".
I had to watch this folm several times before I finally understood that he reall talks about eternity.
