Russian Ark (2002) [with comments] Panther's Mail: Auto-complete doesn't work for company names Betalogue Jeffrey Zeldman's redesign Monday, December 22, 2003 Alexander Sokurov, Russian Ark [Movies] A strangely intoxicating movie . It's experimental, yet accessible. It's a technical tour de force (the whole 96-minute movie consists of one single take, shot in real-time, with thousands of actors, live orchestras, etc.), yet it feels perfectly natural. It has no plot to speak of, but has a dream-like quality that enthrals the viewer. The actual message  of the movie is murky something about life and death, the passage of time, nostalgia, etc. and probably requires repeated viewings to figure out. The ark in the title appears to refer to the entire world evoked in the movie, which, in the final seconds of the movie, is shown through an open window to be floating on icy waters. But it doesn't really matter. The real quality of this movie, in my view, is that it opens up a whole new paradigm for movie making. The whole experience feels so natural that you cannot help but feel that many other movies will need to be made using the same technical process, about many other topics. Will it happen? It's hard to tell. Such movies obviously have limited commercial appeal in today's industry, but it's fairly easy to envision movies made using the same process that would have more of a plot, more

63. Alexander Sokurov Retrospective Notes on the alexander sokurov Retro. THE LONELY VOICE OF MAN (197887) A young man comes home after a civil war stint and marries a medical student. http://www.geocities.com/fvispo/film/sokurov.htm

Notes on the Alexander Sokurov Retro THE LONELY VOICE OF MAN (1978-87) A young man comes home after a civil war stint and marries a medical student. Effectively suffused with sickness, poverty and loss - the middle reel seems missing, too - it's not surprising that this was once banned by the USSR. Dedicated to and recalls shotmaking by Andrei Tarkovsky. MOURNFUL INDIFFERENCE (1983-6) Watching MOURNFUL INDIFFERENCE after DAYS OF THE ECLIPSE, MOTHER AND SON, MOLOCH and even THE LONELY VOICE OF MAN is a bit of a shock to the system with its stylized acting and camera movements. Thi is an adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's Heartbreak House that goes soft in its critique of the hermetic bourgeoisie and the warring world they'd rather ignore. The bourgeois' full-blown indulgence may have drawn Sokurov's sympathy, perhaps not surprisingly given his own tendencies later on. MOSCOW ELEGY On its own, a not very useful documentary on Andrei Tarkovsky, and particularly useless if you've seen Chris Marker's superior ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF ANDREI ARSENEVICH. Sokurov's admiration of Tarkovsky is clear; he is unhesitant in describing the awe of those who had worked with him, and for those of us who never had the opportunity, Sokurov seems satisfied to linger on Tarkovsky's former residences (a washbasin, even), expecting awe in absence. SAVE AND PROTECT (1989) This is Madame Bovary on hallucinogens. Sokurov runs with the ball on his source text even moreso than in MOURNFUL INDIFFERENCE. I'll surmise that Sokurov finds the romantic yet doomed Emma Bovary a kindred spirit, and I'll even add that Sokurov has a lot of fun (yes - "Sokurov" and "fun" together in one sentence!) as Emma's lifestyle choice spins out of her grasp. Eras, languages and visual scale are conflated, and there's a sexual candor previously unseen in Sokurov's depictions of Emma's fantasy life.

Turin 2003 coming soon Cracow Annecy Troia Sochi Turin 2003 Alexander Sokurov retrospective A Russian Charon by Laszlo Kriston We, the viewers, have as little knowledge about these mostly unseen narrators as they have minimal understanding of the circumstances (occasionally we see one of them but only from behind or looking down at his feet due to a camerawork based on a subjective view point). Identity and place are both irrelevant factors in these visionary mystical routes. Time-travel? An unedited, one-take movie, or a ’one-breath’ one, as Sokurov often reflects, provides a compendium of an epoch. It represents a spirit of the time (zeitgeist) in an organic way, as if such a thing would be an entity on its own – more than the sum of its parts (the gestures, the dialogue, the style, the locations, the characters, the paintings). This ever-moving camera itself is the ark ("It feels like we're floating," says a young women), an ark on which the Marquis de Custine (the only character who is aware of the narrator’s presence) sweeps through time and history – as at this side of the river ’Lethe’, in the world of eternity, one can visit every possible dimension of space and time.

Roundtable on Alexander Sokurov's film Russian Ark The echo on our publication of Dragan Kujundzic's essay on Alexander Sokurov's film Russian Ark Russkij kovcheg ) has been very lively. It is followed this week by another text or echo on the film by Raoul Eshelman In addition, we have asked well-known critics and film historians for their responses to Sokurov's film. These responses will be published over the next few weeks. Please find the first of them below. The questions we asked of all discussion participants were the following: "What will the moving image of St. Petersburg look like in the 21st century?" and "What comes after analogous cinematography and how does the digital turn change film and post-film movies?" Sokurovs much debated film Russian Ark is a film of many paradoxes. Its premiers travel from West to East in America, Europe, and Russia, and contrary to the histories of Russia it (re)presents, has led to many confusions and irritations. Picture theory as "sculpted" through the history of pictures, bodily perceptions and intercultural questions seem to be an entry-point for understanding and analyzing the film. A tangible simultaneousness of historical epochs, visual techniques and thoughts about preserving a national film-culture (in the context of the "global" or European threat) comprise some of the complexity of the film. Still, these issues are not always satisfying. Some are bored and/or irritated by the setting of the film. These viewers often focus on whether Sokurov has betrayed his ideals by advertising the Hermitage and actual restorative tendencies. They also question his support of Putin-or at least the repetition of the cliché of degeneration since the beginning of 20th century history.

71. Sokurov Copyright 1998 by Gregory and Maria Pearse alexander sokurov His Cinema of Spiritual Oppression A Reflection on the Film MOTHER AND SON . http://www.cinemaseekers.com/Sokurovtext.html

Alexander Sokurov A Reflection on the Film "MOTHER AND SON" Alexander Sokurov has not been a consistently great filmmaker. But with his latest film Mother and Son he has emerged, for the moment, as the greatest living director in the world (now that Bresson and Bergman have either retired or semi-retired.) Sokurov's style of filmmaking is often compared to that of Andrei Tarkovsky. However, Sokurov himself, while not resenting the comparison, does resist this linkage: "I would say that we had a very close friendship rather than collegial creative collaboration. I don't know why he liked what I was doing." (Alexander Sokurov, Film Comment Nov/Dec 1997) While there is no denying certain similarities of cinematic style between Tarkovsky and Sokurov (such as incredibly long takes, the extremely natural manner of their actors, the poignant use of natural sounds and music - to mention a few), yet there are indeed crucial differences between Sokurov's inner world and Tarkovsky's inner world as these manifest in their films. Both of them are "spiritual" filmmakers in the sense that, in their art they concern themselves with profound questions of human existence and seek to give visible expression to the INNER reality of their being. However, it is precisely in their inner realities that the two could not be more different from each other. In Tarkovsky's films, we see that something is weighing heavily upon the souls of the main characters, something is oppressing their spirits - and yet each film is marked by a phenomenal attempt on the part of the main characters (that is, on the part of the director) to transcend this oppression, to break free from it and to rise above it. Thus, Tarkovsky's cinema is the cinema of striving towards spiritual liberation.

Hearing Is Believing Alexander Sokurov's Russian Ark Sawyer Brown The Russian Ark If The Russian Ark Though with an extremely limited release (there seem to be only a few, subtitled prints making the rounds of festivals, art houses, and museums), the movie has received a fair amount of critical attention because of the concept: the 96-minute film was done in one take Immediately on entering the museum, we encounter our real guide, an elderly, highly judgmental Frenchman (based on a historical figure who was sort of the de Tocqueville of Russia). It is he whom the camera follows as he meanders from room to room. He is as much interested in the art (the Hermitage has one of the great collections of European art, equal to that of the Louvre, or the Prado) as he is in the people he meets. All the while, the camera keeps moving, moving, moving. No one seems sure exactly how many actors were involved in the making of The Russian Ark The concept and its flawless, virtuosic execution are unique. The movie should be seen and studied for this, if for no other reason. Now come the "buts", the big "buts" to explain the "D" for execution, in order of increasing importance:

Alexander Sokurov Por YANINA TARAN Alexander Nikolayevich Sokurov nace en 1951 en el pueblo de Podorvikha, en la región de Irkutsk Oblast, Siberia. Junto a su padre, Nikolai Alexandrovich Sokurov, un veterano de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y su madre, Maria Andrianovna, una anciana pensionista, viven en el territorio de Stavropol al sur de Rusia. En 1968, Alexander Sokurov se inscribe en la Universidad de Gorky, una ciudad industrial en el centro Rusia ahora llamada Nizhni Novgorod. Al mismo tiempo comienza a trabajar como asistente de producción en la oficina editorial del canal de televisión local. Allí aprende el manejo de las tecnologías necesarias para la realización cinematográfica y, a los 19 años, comienza como productor en su primer programa de televisión. Durante los siguientes seis años realiza trabajos de producción y dirección en muchos programas y shows en vivo. El apoyo de Yuri Bespalov, en ese momento jefe de producción de TV en la ciudad de Gorky, fue de gran importancia en la carrera de Alexander Sokurov.

ABOUT EYE eye - Obscure films cast light on history REQUIEM: THE VISIONARY FILMS OF RUSSIAN MASTER ALEXANDER SOKUROV To March 7. Cinematheque Ontario, AGO's Jackman Hall, 317 Dundas W. 968-FILM. BY JASON ANDERSON Just over 10 years ago, British television broadcast the one and only episode of Heil Honey, I'm Home , a sitcom that depicted Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun as modern-day suburbanite slobs. Notorious even before it aired, the show drew widespread condemnation. Evidently, such portrayals of the Fuehrer, even as a buffoon, were not to be tolerated. But that failed attempt to make light of the last century's most infamous man has a distant cousin in Moloch , a 1999 film by Alexander Sokurov, whose little-seen works are now screening in a retrospective at Cinematheque Ontario. In his many features, documentaries and poem-like "elegy" films, the Russian filmmaker has often explored historical themes and tried to discern the place of the past in the present day. With Moloch ; March 1, 6:30pm), Sokurov did what no other filmmaker had done: portray Hitler as a person. As usual, Sokurov's achievement is a peculiar one. As his admirer Ingmar Bergman said of him last year, Sokurov "breaks all the rules on all levels," creating work that is "unexpectedly fascinating."

RUSSIAN ARK Director: Alexander Sokurov Cast: Sergei Dontsov, Sergey Dreiden, Anna Aleksakhina In Russian with subtitles Russia, 2002 - 96 min Screenplay: Boris Khaimsky Anatoli Nikiforov Svetlana Proskurina Aleksandr Sokurov Photography: Tilman Buttner Invisible to everyone around him, a contemporary filmmaker finds himself in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, back in the early 1700's! He meets a cynical French diplomat from the 19th Century and the men become accomplices in a time-traveling journey through Russia's turbulent past, ending in the present day. The tour which take us through both the Hermitage and the Russian history of the past 300 years, let us witness historical figures like Catherine the Great, Nicholas I, Nicholas II and Peter the Great. No Better Than a Guided Tour It is clearly an exercise in style financed by the Hermitage Museum of St. Petersburg, to mark the 300th anniversary of the city. There's nowhere to go except to show as much of the museum as possible, with its impressive collections. This makes a feature film? The answer as sought by the talented Sokurov is quite clever, as the museum must preserve above all else, its more than 100 year History: Let's reconstitute the historical steps as if such history were horizontal rather than vertical (meaning continuing through time), each step staged in a different room of the museum.
