I'm trying to find the Russian tale this was based on, but no luck. Anyone have a lead?

Firstly I'll say that I found the story very bland and uninteresting. It's very obviously supposed to be scary, and indeed it is unsettling, but the finale is very disappointing and anticlimactic.

That said, I enjoyed how it was presented/executed. The tale is told by a male voiceover in the style of an old fairytale, and it is shown in series of still images with accompanying audio recordings rather than rolling footage. Some of the images are out of focus, almost as though they were taken by an amateur photographer or someone using a disposable camera. This gives it the look and feel of a slide show or a modern picture book, and really benefits the pacing of the story. It also supports the unsettling nature of the story quite well.

Overall, however, I didn't love the story itself, hence the low rating. Worth watching for the interesting execution, but be prepared for an underwhelming story finale.

This was included with the bonus section I think of "Aquarius." In another interview I had heard Kleber speak proudly of this short, so I was happy to get a chance to watch it.

But.....it was not that big a deal to me. 13 mins that feels a bit longer actually, and I'm down with the message for parents here (especially those who remember being kids).

Shot in "art school" format (stills to tell the story, reminded me of seeing Taika Waiti's early film "Two Cars At Night" that led into "Boy."). I appreciate the more outer autre moves, and as often with KMF, music is a key part to his visual presentations.

Never more than here. For USA folks (and for fun) think of this as a PSA for PMRC (Tipper Gore) :)

I felt like the recording in the film was sped up some, or had more prominent synth.
