A Long Time Ago... (Когда-то давно)

Four years after her poetic film about ancient family grief, director Galina Barinova moved into the science fiction genre with this strange, engaging, nearly wordless film.

The animation in Galina Barina's films is awe-inspiring. In this particular film, the methodical, smooth slowness of the movements, coupled with the innovative art direction

A superb film that I have had the pleasure of writing about on my blog today(http://www.animationblog.org/). It is difficult to think of something original to say when you have dealt with the subject so comprehensively. Galina Barina is a most interesting director and this a most unusual film. A bit like the Russian doll that has many layers to it. Thanks for the recommendation and placing the film on YouTube.
