The actors chosen are so absolutely living up to the images in my mind when reading the series. I hope when there will ever be a movie or tv series on it that they will choose this cast or some cast exactly like this!
that's the biggest compliment i could ever get, thank you!! i hope there will never be a movie/show for this bc they wouldn't do it justice - and let's face it, they would dumb it down and westernize it. so yeah, im content for it to remain as it is :)
i’m so impressed by this! I love this series so much and I think this video really evokes a lot of the same emotions that the books do. love love LOVE the actress you fancast as vasya 💕
i cannot even begin to describe how much i love these books... CANNOT EVEN BEGIN!! thank you so much! it was quite a challenge to even come close to the aesthetic and the world these characters and story live in but i hope i at least managed to evoke enough curiousity for people to go read the books.... and yes, mila would be a really good vasja - she has that stubborn spark of wild magic in her eyes.
although i don't have problems with speaking russian, my writing is quite basic so you'll excuse me for replying to you in english. thank you very much for all the compliments - i'm beyond thrilled people seem to like and are intrigued by the premise and its aethetic enough to seek out the book series to read it themselves. i do admit, i could've done a better job as book trailer but there just isn't enough the kind of footage i need to pull it of.... so i'll have to be content with this aesthetic mess instead haha
@@cursethestarss I`m very sorry, you used parts from russian movie in your video, so i`ve decided that you are russian (people from non post soviet countries usually never watch russian movies) You`ve done a fantastic job! As for the slavic kind of content if you need some more I can recommend to find "He - dragon" (2015), "Wolfhound" (2006 film), "Legend of Kolovrat" (also translated as "Furious" (2017 film)
@@homylynx9840 no need to apologise, really! as i said before, i do speak and read russian but am not very good at writing... and i do come from a post-communist country (croatia, which was a part of yugoslavia until the war in the 90s) and have grown up on old soviet films, especially the animated ones. thank you for the reccomendation, i've watched both on drakon and kolovrat but haven't heard of wolfhound until now.... will put it on my watchlist! -and if you have more reccomendations that would fit the aesthetic of the winternight trilogy im all ears-
@@cursethestarss oh, i see. Hello to Croatia =) here is the list (most of the films are pretty bad, but at least they have russian/slavic atmosphere, so they can be useful) "Викинг" (2016), "Золотая орда" (2018), "Скиф" (2018) - I really likes this one, though it`s a little bit trashy, "Stara basn: Kiedy słonce było bogiem", (2003) - polish, earlier period, just great to watch, "Годунов" (2018) - I haven`t seen this one yet, but it looks not bad in the trailer (and there are many traditional russian costumes and architecture), "Вий" (2014) - it represents 19th century, but there is a beautiful scene of Kupala night in the very beginning I hope it can help. Can`t wait for your next videos!
How? How do you always do this? How do you always make the most unbelievable beauty like it's nothing? Like it's easy? Gosh this is so haunting, so gorgeous, the atmosphere of winter forest, of mythology, and the song?? the song?? Gosh what a goddamn beauty and again, how the fuck!!
my god, i wish this one was easy.... it was a bloody feet but i don't regret a second of it! i'm just glad i've managed to represent a shallow layer of all the beauty and horror vasja's world contains -i wish i had proper footage of the fantastical elements but alas they don't make them slavic mythology stuff at all soooo- this song and that whole album is just... haunting memories of an old forgotten world. literal chills every time i listen to them!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
@@cursethestarss i have read the whole series now. i think the first book is still my favourite but it’s so hard to choose. just wondering if u had any recommendations for similar books/series?
@@mezscat656 there aren't many books with this kind of vibe and quality written in english tbh. the closest i can think of is "uprooted" and "spinning silver" by naomi novik,"hunted" by meagan spooner adn "the wolf and the woodsman" by ava reid. these don't deal with slavic mythology but the fairytale vibe is similar: house of salt and sorrows by erin a craig, the remnant chronicles by mary e pearson, the bird and the sword by amy harmon,perilous gard by elizabeth pope, the changling sea by patricia mckillip, the faceless woman by emma hamm.
@@cursethestarss thank you so much for the recommendations (: i have already read uprooted and spinning silver but can’t wait to try the rest! happy reading and thx again (:
And now I have a new series to read. I remember reading Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente a while back and just being enthralled. There's something about Russian romance the utilizes folklore that's just... so poignant and moving.
i'm so glad to hear you're going to read the books!! well, slavic stories and mythologies are in general more... hmm how to say this properly in english.... they are more beautiful in their unforgiving and unyielding cruelty no matter how many bird-horses one gets to ride; there are always consequences. as for deathless, i agree with what @HomyLynx said below - it is not very respectful of the stories it takes from as well as history.... and i mean it in a way that, even though there are some beautiful descriptions and premises in there, it seems as if the author talks from one point of view history wise without thinking through the events she took as her historical backdrop. i don't know, it's a complicated and overly long arguement on my part to trouble you with it in this comment.... in short, i reccomend reading into folklore and mythology (and not just russian, but of other slavic countries) thank you!
Ugh, as if my 'I need to read this' list wasn't already a mile long T___T Dora, _DORA_ , I need a moment, nay, I need _many_ moments to process this. Like I said, I've been away of these books for some time, but just never got round to reading them (this may be the kick in the ass I needed), but ooph. This is so gorgeous, some atmospheric. I could hardly bear to look away for even a moment, or even really breath in case I missed something, or something snapped me out of this world, because this video is truly the most immersive, and I felt entirely _transported_ .
trust me kim: these books are going to change your life, crush your soul and heart in the best of ways. katherine arden has a way with words taht's just... out of this world. just move them up as much as you can,a nd possibly read them during a very very cold day/night. the compliments you shower me with never cease to warm my very soul, thank you.

This is amazing! Btw, the author Katherine Arden just tweeted about this, she said this is "perfectly stunning." :)

Wonderful video! Am re-reading the books right now.
I love this video! You chose the perfect person to play Morozko
This makes me want to reread the book again :D
It’s been on the back of my mind for ages!
i reread these three books every three months or so... it's jsut... i can't get enough of them.
