foxantoine

Honestly, i am not goint to lie -- this film is 60% of my personality. also this film is not only important for me personally, but i would say that it is one of the most important films of Wes' career (sorry, but i'm so used to calling mr. Anderson just Wes as if we are good friends, and we are.. in a sense). i would say that Mr. Fox was a kind of middle ground between early Wes and, i don't know, mature Wes? i guess so. his mature style started to grow its roots with The Darjeeling Limited then grew into Fantastic Mr. Fox, got stronger with Moonrise Kingdom and peaked with The Grand Budapest Hotel. and Mr. Fox is so important in this journey i think.

I just think that people who are not from Russia or not from a former USSR republic don't understand how deep and important this film is. we are (russians and ex-soviets) are so used to the glorification of WW2, but this film doesn't do it. no, it shows how bleak and joyless the life after war is and it may not seem so groundbreaking for the western viewer but it is for me. also Kantemir Balagov isn't even 30 years old and he is a master of the craft alreasy. it means something.
