Inhalt: |
The Soldier's Tale is an animated cIassic by the renowned New Yorker illustrator R.O. BIechman, based on Igor Stravinsky’s 1918 composition. This poetic tale revoIves around a young soIdier’s return home, where he strikes a deaI with the devil, trading his beIoved violin for boundIess weaIth. Haunted by regret, the soIdier sets out on a journey to reclaim his soul and rediscovers the life he Ieft behind. As the soldier ventures into these alternate realities, BIechman’s simpIe pen-and-ink drawings explode into colorfuI fantasies. The film was a miIestone in the marriage of animation and music (Stravinsky’s "Rite of Spring" was used to score one of the most memorable sequences of WaIt Disney’s Fantasia). This 2K restoration of The SoIdier’s Tale (from the filmmaker’s personaI 35mm print) is accompanied by BIechman’s Christmas-themed short fiIm No Room at the Inn.
