Fairytale

Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and Churchill are on their way to heaven but meet in hell. Will any of them get through the gate of God? It may sound like a joke but it’s Fairytale, one of the most experimental and radical films by Alexander Sokurov and a symbolic conclusion of his directorial oeuvre. This mesmerizing testimony to various forms of evil is composed of documentary footage, authorial voices and actual speeches of these makers of modern history of the world.
