A pioneering study of the greatest animated film of all time.
Clare Kitson is a former programmer for the National Film Theatre in London and for BBC Channel 4. She has been researching Yuri Norstein and his work for over two decades.
"Clare Kitson has written an exemplary book... The tale she tells sheds light on the origins and makings of the images, on their relation to Norstein's life and to Russian culture, to other works of art (poems and paintings) and to the troubled culture of censorship. She illuminates, and deepens the mystery, leaving the power of the images intact and strengthened, which is what good criticism should do." -A.S. Byatt, The Guardian (U.K.)
