Originally made for Public Television, R.O. Blechman’s adaptation of Stravinsky’s theater piece combines a score of animation techniques within his eccentric, expressive personal style. A soldier returning from war makes a deal with the Devil, trading his violin for a book that tells the future. The message is ‘You can’t go home again’ with an added element of ‘No second chances.’ Presented here full length for the first time, with five minutes of prologue and epilogue. Plus extra R.O. Blechman animated shorts, TV commercials, etc. On Blu-ray from Kino Classics.
