Stage Russia HD: Making the Overcoat Trailer

Yuriy Norshteyn, Russia’s most renowned animator, has crafted many brilliant works, including his award-winning Tale of Tales and Hedgehog in the Fog. He is revered by animation creators across the globe, most notably Japanese masters Osamu Tezuka, Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. Forty years ago, Norshteyn began work on an ambitious adaptation of The Overcoat by noted Russian writer Nikolai Gogol, but the project stalled and has been shelved for many years. A Japanese film crew visited Norshteyn’s studio in Moscow and found there mountains of sketches, character studies and a shooting table covered with dust. When will his much-awaited The Overcoat be finally completed? In this new documentary, Norshteyn talks about its current status and the anguish and passion that has gone into its creation. (Presented in Russian and Japanese w/ English subtitles.)

I really want it to be done because I know it will be one of the greatest animated films of all-time

It will never be finished. And thats okay. It is a masterpiece already. Kafka never finished his writings..

[@GagsAnimation]

Never say never

[@darcyperkins7041]

​@@GagsAnimationWell, you've just said never so there goes that theory!😂

[@Da1Dez]

AI will probably be able to make the exact same looking film in the very near future.... Sorry Yuri 😢

[@sirjanska9575]

There are two types of artists: the so called "artists", and then this guy. I hope he and his project are doing ok

Ironically AI could now make The Overcoat, with the exact aesthetic, in hardly any time at all. Poor Yuri, poor Yuri.... 😵
