Miaou! - Le Roman de Renard - Ladislas Starevitch

"Le Roman de Renard" by Ladislas Starevitch (Russian immigrant of Polish descent, living in France after the Soviet revolution)
="The Tale of the Fox"
release date - 1941, but Ladislas, his wife and his dauther were working on that masterpiece for many years, then he waited for the sound in the cinema to make the sound-track (also beautiful)

Один из моих любимых эпизодов фильма великого Владислава Старевича "Роман о Лисе" (или "Рейнеке-Лис")
Обязательно прочтите об исключительном человеке, делавшем на заре кинематографа такие чудеса, на которые в наш век высоких технологий мало кто способен!

------------------------------------
примерный ПЕРЕВОД этого отрывка:

ЛЕВ:
А вы? Вам есть, что добавить?
Довольно, довольно сомнений!
Решение, к которому я пришёл, будет окончательным и бесповоротным!

Секретарь! Записывайте!
Наше величество Лев, король зверей, постановляем:
ради восстановления мира, нашим подданным запрещается есть друг друга. Только овощи, молочные продукты и фрукты разрешены к употреблению в пищу.

С этого дня на земле должна воцарится великая любовь!
Любовь! Любовь! Любовь!

СЕРЕНАДА КОТА:
припев:
Ты прекрасно знаешь, как я люблю тебя
Мяуу, мяуу!

Моё сердце не склонно к измене
Мяуу, мяуу!

Ты же знаешь, что завладела им безраздельно,
так отдай мне своё!

Сегодня вечером светит луна
Мяуу, мяуу!
......
Мяуу, мяуу!

Я хочу кричать об этом на крышах:
Ты - моя единственная любовь!

куплет:
Милая, я иду в твой дом
Не томи меня,
Раскрой свои объятья!
Все спят по домам в этот поздний час,
И на улице не встретишь уже ни одного кота.

и снова припев
Мяуу, мяуу!

Starewicz was Pole not Russian.

[slonique]

@sialababamak537 Fair enough, yes, he was Pole) But he was born in Moscow, he lived and worked in Russia until 1917.

[sialababamak537]

@slonique

He couldn't be born in Poland because Poland was re-established in 1918. But because there was no polish state it doesn't mean there was no Poles.

[slonique]

@sialababamak537 @sialababamak537 Of course he could have been born in Poland) But he was born and raised in Moscow. Frankly, I don't care what nationality he was. After all it was France that became his home. But thank you, I will add to the description a reference to his Polish descent.

Such wonderful animation. I wish the artist could have stayed and worked in Russia, Oh well, ce la vie.

[slonique]

I wish he was known and appreciated in Russia at least nowadays (

but he is still not.

Masterpiece, such a strong, dark, witty fable - puts all of Western cute-animal animation films to shame. Plus, there are some technical aspects of his animation that remain, to me, quite unfathomable - and which one sees in no other stop-motion anywhere. One of which is the amazing blurred-motion effect he achieves at times (like when the cat jumps up here), which looks like real-time movement, but can't be, because of other ongoing stop-motion elements in the shot.

The King decrees that from that day on all the creatures of his kingdom shall live in peace and brotherly love... and become vegetarians! No longer will predators eat their prey, no longer will prey live in fear of being eaten. In the second scene the crafty Fox sings a love song to the Queen, singing "I love only Thee, Meow, Meow!" A truly magical story.

[lyonlamb]

I'd love to have this song on mp3 and play it from time to time.

Vladislav Starevich (August 8, 1882 - February 26, 1965), born Władysław Starewicz (Russian: Владисла́в Алекса́ндрович Старе́вич), was a Russian and French stop-motion animator who used insects and other animals as his protagonists. (His name can also be spelled Starevitch, Starewich and Starewitch.) .... people READ MORE

@RobearInOjai Aww, so cute!!

Do you know the French lyrics to the cat song? It sounds so pretty!

[LordHamlet99]

Although the animation was finished in Paris after an 18-month period (1929-1930), there were major problems with adding a soundtrack to the film. Finally, funding was given for a German soundtrack and this version had its premiere in Berlin in April 1937. Released eight months before Disney's Snow White, it is the world's sixth-ever animated feature film (and the second to use puppet animation, following The New Gulliver from the USSR).
