About The Black Wizard's Gift
When Vasilisa was still small, the black sorcerer brought her mother an ominous gift - a chest with an enchanted wedding dress. Putting it on, Vasilisa could make a wish, and it would certainly be fulfilled. Once the girl was jealous of the blacksmith Ivan, and his eyes stopped seeing. Vasilisa had to pass the tests and strictly fulfill the sorcerer's order in order to restore sight to Ivan.
Directed by Boris Rytsarev, The Black Wizard's Gift leans on a strong ensemble — Elena Kondratyeva, Boris Shcherbakov, Larisa Danilina — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1979.
