Grey Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood
A darkly allegorical Soviet claymation fable that weaponizes a children's tale to meditate on political collapse and predatory ideology.
A Soviet claymation short film created by Garri Bardin in 1990 that retells the story of Red Riding Hood while incorporating political metaphors and themes about the USSR's demise; the wolf representing communism, devouring innocent creatures who have never known him.
