Review of Russian Ark (2002) by Pavandeep S — 05 Jan 2008
Such a fascinating film, each shot being well crafted like the many paintings shown in the film, a fascinating journey into Russian history and a trip into an ethereal and mezmerizing state where beauty dwells among darkness, where instability reigns from time to time where influences and the cutting of tradition is detrimental and also expected, this film takes what we know of the Russian world and puts it into perspective, showing us how everything is repeated and coming about.
The slow pacing and the dialogue suffice in its aim for us to grasp its motifs and to bring it out, fleshing it into what is basically cinema's most beautiful film.
