Новая старая сказка

About This Movie

Новая старая сказка is a curious blend of children's fantasy and folkloric elements. It dives into the world of Baba Yaga, a character often painted as a villain but here, she has her own insecurities and motives—pretty interesting twist, right? The pacing can feel a bit slow at times, but it builds an atmospheric tension that makes the viewer lean in. The rural setting of Mukhomonovka is visually charming, with practical effects that give it a unique texture. The performances of Tanyushka and Ilyusha bring a youthful energy that contrasts with Baba Yaga’s darker undertones. It’s a film that explores themes of friendship, jealousy, and the journey of self-discovery, all wrapped in a whimsical narrative—definitely a distinct piece in the family genre.
