English A little gem emerges from time to time from the marasmus of the post-November decline of animated films. The quarter-hour-long The Fall manages to convey more about the absurdity of communism than a two-hour-long feature film. Atmospheric absurdity that sends shivers down the spine. After watching it, it must be clear why Charms had to end in such a sad way. Similar people in dictatorships usually do not die a natural death. An excellent puppet short full of black humor. Overall impression: 90%. ()
