Review of Russian Ark (2002) by Benjamin K — 21 Jun 2007
Technically a masterpiece, but also a staggering creative accomplishment. I always knew that history is a river, but Sokurov shows us how it flows, in human terms. The ball scene, with its hundreds of actors, orchestra and principals -- all recorded live -- is a major achievement in the history of film.
