Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors

1963 · 80 min Adventure Family Fantasy
6.9 / 10 · TMDB

Alice-type Soviet girl, named Olya meets her counterpart Yalo, while looking into the mirror. Yalo is an absolute antipode to Olya, for example where Olya is precise and neat, Yalo is absent-minded, careless, etc. The explicit plot relates to Olya learning to see herself differently, but this occurs through an experience in the Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors which serves as a mechanism for commenting on the ability of a society to manufacture a false reality. Based on a story with the same name by Vitali Gubarev.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The direction is assured — the director controls pace and space with a sense of knowing why each scene belongs here.

Watches evenly. No lows, no revelations. But there's dignity in the craft — and it's present here.

A wide audience will appreciate it. Especially those who love the genre.

Director: Aleksandr Rou
