To keep the book from obstructing the critic’s operation, the review immobilizes the book, puts it to sleep, distances it and kills it without understanding it.” But this critic’s intention is explicitly to finish off Bambi in all of its forms: Bambi, first as dreamed up by the originary author Felix Salten, then morphed American by Disney, and finally its Soviet forms- Bambi’s Childhood (1985) and Bambi’s Youth (1987)-reworked by filmmaker Natalya Bondarchuk, better known outside of Russia for her role as Hari in Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris (1972).īambi's Childhood (Детство Бемби),1985, directed by Natalya Bondarchuk.īondarchuk’s Soviet psychedelic-ballet deer dilogy-where human actors impersonate creatures, was shot in national preserves/parks in the Crimean Peninsula and Estonia. “Criticism, especially written, journalistic, kills the book that it portrays.
