Ivan Tsarevich i Seryy Volk

the Prince and the Gray Wolf

Russia, 2011, 80 Min

The classic Russian fairy tale, narrated in the language of animated film for a younger generation of internet-influenced viewers: On the pursuit of the ideals of feminism the Tsar's daughter Vasilisa studies at both Oxford and the Sorbonne. All thoughts of marriage have been post¬poned to the indefinite future, and even then she would only be willing to marry for love. At the moment however she dreams of nothing more than continuing her studies; that is when the Tsar decides to have her marry the first bachelor who comes along; that turns out to be simple- minded Ivan! In order to prove his eligibility to marry the Tsar's daughter,
Ivan has to pass a test. Thus the Tsar despatches prospective son-in-law and his aide, the grey wolf, on a journey.
The traditional fairy tale plot time and again makes its presence felt in the present day: Baba Jaga dreams of prolonging her youth with the help of cosmetic surgery, Kastschei the Immortal's attire is reminis¬cent of dragon costume, and the Tsar demands that an underling "take charge of the 2014 sporting venues", a reference to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
