Animation Recommendation: Hedgehog in the Fog (1975) This is hands down one of the strangest and most fascinating masterpieces from the Soviet era. The story is simple, a hedgehog trying to visit a friend through the fog , but the vibe is super dark, surreal, and honestly kind of terrifying. It perfectly captures that Cold War anxiety and the editing is just top-tier (reminds you of Eisenstein!). Critics literally voted this the best animation of all time. You absolutely have to experience it. Have you seen any other Soviet animations before?

Movie Recommendation: Her (2013) Just watched Her and wow what a unique and excellent movie. It shows the dark side of AI progress in such an impactful way. But the real highlight? Scarlett Johansson’s voice. The emotion she conveys just with audio is more than most actors can do with their whole body! Would you like me to suggest other movies about AI like Ex Machina?
