Movie Reviews of Russian Ark: The Masterworks Edition

Movie Review: Russian Ark review
Summary: 5 Stars

It is a wonderfull, but rather allegoric movie. It is defenetly interesting to watch and for those who have never been to Hermitage - that's definitely a good opportunity to have a glims of what's inside. I probably would recommend to whatch it after you have made a short introduction to the history of Hermitage, because most likely you will be confused by the flow of caracters. But from emotional point of view - this is 100% worth watching.

Summary of Russian Ark: The Masterworks Edition

A modern filmmaker magically finds himself transported to the 18th century, where he embarks on a time-traveling journey through 300 years of Russian history in Alexander Sokurov's masterpiece. Filmed in HD with directors commentary
Russian master Alexander Sokurov has tapped into the very flow of history itself for this flabbergasting film. Thanks to the miracles of digital video, Sokurov (and cinematographer Tilman Buttner) uses a single, unbroken, 90-minute shot to wind his way through the Hermitage in St. Petersburg--the repository of Russian art and the former home to royalty. Gliding through time, we glimpse Catherine II, modern-day museumgoers, and the doomed family of Nicholas II. History collapses on itself, as the opulence of the past and the horrors of the 20th century collide, and each door that opens onto yet another breathtaking gallery is another century to be heard from. The movie climaxes with a grand ball and thousands of extras, prompting thoughts of just how crazy Sokurov had to be to try a technical challenge like this--and how far a distance we've traveled, both physically and spiritually, since the movie began. --Robert Horton
