Le tsar Saltan choisit son épouse parmi trois sœurs. Tandis que la cadette devient tsarine, les deux aînées, pleines de jalousie, font tout pour lui nuire. Alors que le tsar est parti guerroyer, la tsarine met au monde le prince Gvidon. Avec l’aide du traître conseiller, les deux sœurs parviennent à se débarrasser de la mère et du fils en les jetant à la mer dans un tonneau. Naufragé sur l’île de Bouïane, le prince grandit à une vitesse déconcertante. Un jour, il sauve un cygne des griffes d’un aigle. Le cygne est en fait une princesse victime d’un sort, et va l’aider à faire justice. (Artus Films)

Evaluating this antiquated absurdity is indeed a tricky issue. This film is not a comedy, but rather an unintended parody. Naivety is ubiquitous and the entire film must be perceived with a huge amount of detachment. Moreover, I am truly convinced that what is amusing is the charm of the unintended. The only thing I perceive as an absolute positive is the visual aspects, i.e., the architect let loose, and the city as well as the palace look truly fairytale-like Russian. Nevertheless, the makeup artist probably received more money than the architect, because the tons of cosmetics consumed during filming must have drained the entire Russian cosmetics industry, so Soviet women again came up short. The Tsar comes across as an advertisement for homosexuality, and during his cute flirtation with the Tsarina, while they were singing, I began to feel that I was approaching the onset of an epileptic seizure. The squirrel dance and other poetic inserts must be seen, they simply cannot be translated. In the end, I will lean towards two diplomatic stars and an overall impression of 35%, because such bizarreness is not easily found.
