This is the work of Alexander Sokonov. The entire film is 90 minutes long, and there is only one long shot. This shooting method is a huge challenge for the director. It was required to shoot 90 minutes at a time in a palace in St. Petersburg in a continuous manner, allowing the filming time to coincide exactly with the filming time. Sokolov reiterates that there isn't a single cut in his work, taking his preferred long-shot aesthetic to the extreme. Every scene detail must be accurately calculated and arranged, and post-production adjustments are made to color, lighting and other picture effects without editing. A "Russian Ark", 200 years of modern history of Soviet Russia.

    Collection of Russian Films @ INDIGO. Witnessing the glorious palaces of the past is like a capsized boat moored on the other side of history. 35 rooms, more than 2000 actors, 3 symphony orchestras, 6 months of rehearsal, 300 years of history, 90 minutes, converged into one of the greatest long mirrors in history. Filming was completed on December 23, 2001. Floating light for a moment. Another favorite is Lao Chai's Old French Song, the music is faint and sinking, and the whispers are always like sighs. The girl running and playing in that beautiful still photo turned out to be the last princess, Anastasia. She and they wore the most beautiful costumes and went to the final dance. Outside the palace was a boundless storm, and they continued to move forward without knowing the purpose. The saddest thing in the world is the end of the song. The crowd, who can only walk into the screen by dreaming in a dream outside the body, has also become a wanderer, listening to the sad muttering of Russia: Farewell, Europa. We are destined to drift forever and live forever.

    I don't know much about Russian history, and I'm not interested in those piles of famous paintings and sculptures. I was shocked by the long shot of the legendary 90-minute one-shot to the end. Scheduling is powerful. Stunning. It hurts my eyes, I don't want to blink! After checking the information, be sure to read it again! //20150331 Archives review. The last time I read it, I said I wanted to check the information, but I didn't check the information, but I didn't expect to see it on the big screen. Five stars remain.

Russian Ark quotes

  • The Stranger: Let's proceed with caution. These madmen could eat us.

    The Time Traveller: They liked your hair.

    The Stranger: Of course, I'm a writer. Writer's always have good hair.

  • Orbeli: Is something still troubling you? Is it the authorities? They want acorns without oak trees. They are not interested in knowing how to nurture the tree of culture, but it will be their doom if the tree falls. Then there will be nothing left. Can't they understand that?
