Tonino Guerra: Towards The Sun

In the mid-1990s, Guerra wrote scripts for two animated films by A. Khrzhanovsky, thus making his debut as an author in animation. These are the famous films "The Lion with the Gray Beard" and "The Long Journey". Animated films, where impossible fantasies come to life, seem to be the true territory of Guerra. The movement towards Russia becomes for the Italian master a movement along the vertical of creativity, a metaphor for the limitless possibilities of imagination.
