Requiem: The Visionary Films Of Russian Master Alexander Sokurov Alexander Sokurovs reputation as a purveyor of intense, spiritual films was sealed by Directed by Alexander Sokurov USSR 1990, 35 mm, color, 92 min http://www.harvardfilmarchive.org/calendars/02marapr/sokurov.htm
Extractions: Requiem: The Visionary Films Of Alexander Sokurov This retrospective was organized by James Quandt at the Cinematheque Ontario in collaboration with Jytte Jensen of the Film and Video Department, Museum of Modern Art, New York, with generous assistance from Alexei Jankowski, Studio Bereg, St. Petersburg. MOTHER AND SON (Mat i syn) March 8 (Friday) 7 pm Russian with English subtitles Mother and Son is a slow, soft, and sad poem about the last day of a woman weakened by disease, and about the loving son who cares for her in her remote cabin home. Formal elements converge to reinforce the elegiac tone: the whispering wind, crashing waves, sea-gull cries, and other natural sounds recall the glissandi of violins; the images, distorted by filming through painted glass panes, mirrors, and special lenses, are reminiscent of German Romantic painting; the pace of the film verges on stillness, as though fixing on the moment between life and death, consciousness and oblivion. In the triumphantly pre-Freudian universe of the film, the parent is a literal burden who is carried through the world by her son in a sort of reverse pieta. DAYS OF THE ECLIPSE (Dni zatmeniya) March 8 (Friday) 8:30 pm Directed by Alexander Sokurov

ALEXANDER SOKUROV & HIS CINEMA OF SPIRITUAL OPPRESSION alexander sokurov is a director, who possesses an enormous cinematic gift. for The Spiritual Worlds of alexander sokurov Part Two http://www.hal-pc.org/~questers/Sokurov.html
Extractions: Sorry, your browser doesn't suppor Java. (You can move the lens with your cursor.) Alexander Sokurov is a director, who possesses an enormous cinematic gift. It is, therefore, doubly regrettable that along with some high accomplishments, he has produced some low points as well. Films like "Save and Protect" and "Moloch" are downright embarrassments for a director of such high caliber (and "Russian Ark", while being a fine work of art, is just a little too superficial). Fortunately, he has more than made up for that with such remarkable films as "Man's Lonely Voice" and "Second Circle". However, his film "Mother and Son" can be considered to be the pinnacle of his output so far. 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:
Moloch MOLOCH Di Sokurov SOKUROV Recensione del film di alexander sokurov dedicato agli ultimi giorni di vita di Adolf Hitler, a cura di Vito Casale. http://www.centraldocinema.it/Recensioni/1-5/moloch.htm
Extractions: il Meglio del web Moloch Interessante prova del regista siberiano Sokurov, autore di film intensi come "Madre e figlio". Stile registico inconfondibile: silenzi infiniti, luci evanescenti, immagini pittoriche, la morte che aleggia silenziosa: bagliori di poesia sublime. Limmobilismo come tentativo di esorcizzare la morte o allontanarla anche solo per un attimo, o forse catturarla per sempre... I personaggi di Moloch sembrano quasi appartenere al teatro, ad una piece simil-brechtiana in cui si vuole denunciare lassurdo che si cela spesso nel vivere. A tratti, e questo è uno dei limiti del film, sembrano la parodia, la caricatura di se stessi. A volte si sconfina nel grottesco (Hitler chiede "cos'è Auschitwz?").

Parallel dazu hat er ein Geschichtsstudium abgeschlossen, anschließend ein Regissurstudium in Moskau. 1978 erschien Sokurovs Debutfilm Maria , der, wie 11 weitere Werke Sokurovs, erst mit dem Einsetzen der Perestrojka im Jahre 1987 erscheinen durfte. Die Diplomarbeit Sokurovs war der Film (Einsame Stimme des Menschen, 1978), der nach einem Roman von Andrei Platonov gedreht wurde. Der Film wurde sogleich beinahe zerstört, im Jahr 1987 bekam er beim Filmfestival in Locarno jedoch den Bronzenen Leoparden. Erst in der zweiten Hälfte der achtziger Jahre bekam Sokurov die Möglichkeit, seine Filme an den Zuschauer zu bringen. Zu seinen Werken gehören neben mehreren Dokumentarfilmen, zu denen Moskovskaia élegia (Moskauer Elegie) und Duhovnye golosa (Geistesstimmen) zählen, auch Filme wie Spasi i sohrani (Rette und behüte) nach "Madame Bovary" von Gustave Flaubert und

The Hermitage in St. Petersburg served as location for "Russian Ark," a lush meditation on history, art, and Russia in the guise of a bravura filmmaking stunt: all of the film's 97 minutes were shot in one single, relentless take. Forget Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco entering the restaurant in "Goodfellas" or Hitchcock's one-shot chamberplay "Rope" Sokurov stages "Russian Ark" as a feat of logistics and coordination in the sprawling building with a cast of over 800 actors and several hundred extras. The camera swoops and glides, drifts, pulls in, and sails through doors opened just in time by the invisible narrator or one of his mysterious companions. Neither he nor we are particularly sure why we are there; as we pass gilded halls, paintings by the masters, scenes from Russian history, diplomatic receptions, and the climactic ball complete with live orchestra, we search for clues, connections, and meaning. The uninterrupted flow seduces into a trance.

Chicago Reader Movie Review alexander sokurov s 218minute video, Confession, manages to elevate this theme to the level of art. Considered by many Russia s finest living director, http://www.chireader.com/movies/archives/2002/0802/020816_2.html
Extractions: Masterpiece By Fred Camper Top Top I n one of my favorite jokes connecting Russian pessimism with a failure of imagination, two Russian fishermen catch a golden fish. It offers them three wishes if they'll spare its life. The first fisherman says, "I wish that the hold of the boat be filled with cases of vodka," and his wish is granted. The second says, "I wish that the entire ocean be turned into vodka," and they lower a bucket and start drinking. Then the fish reminds them that they have a third wish. They look at each other, scratch their heads, and the first says, "I guess we'll just take another case." Alexander Sokurov's 218-minute video, Confession , manages to elevate this theme to the level of art. Considered by many Russia's finest living director, he's created a madrigal to melancholy, a hymn to failure, in which an apparently gay naval commander lacks the courage to act on his desires. Set in the cramped space of a nondescript ship amid barren arctic snowscapes, it consists mostly of the sailors' repetitive actions and the commander's lugubrious narration. The few possibilities for happiness or meaning hinted at hardly offer convincing ways out of the gloom. Stan Brakhage includes a line from Louis Zukofsky's poem "A" "Raise grief to music" in his 1967 meditation on war, 23rd Psalm Branch . Sokurov may be said to have raised melancholy to music in
Extractions: If there is one achievement Alexander Sokurov should be remembered for in the annals of great artistic accomplishments, it is his relentless striving to bring the world of the spirit closer to our own. With the exceptions of Tarkovsky and Bresson, there has never been a director who places such an emphasis on the spiritual qualities of harmony, subtlety and refinement in all aspects of the filmmaking process (and in life as well): Sputnik In a perfect world, of course, art (and the artist) would not be separated from spiritual life. They would ebb and flow together in a Light-conscious stream, uplifting the surrounding world as a natural matter of course. For art is life, and life is art. We are all part of the great Work of Creation, which is the sacred model for all Art. And as long as the pure flame of the spirit is firmly in command, this marvelous balance can be striven for, maybe even achieved. The moment, however, the spirit weakens, as is the case with most filmmakers today, then the inevitable maelstrom follows:
