Acclaimed director Aleksandr Sokurov (RUSSIAN ARK) focuses on painting and its relation to film in this pair of lyrical shorts. ELEGY OF A VOYAGE follows Sokurov in a meditative journey through various landscapes--seas, busy cities--before coming to the endpoint of his far-flung travels: Boijmans Museum in Rotterdam. Here, he immerses himself in Peter Saenredam's glorious landscape painting, "St. Mary's Square." HUBERT ROBERT, A FORTUNATE LIFE focuses on this French romantic painter whose elegiac images of imaginary ruins evokes a sense of nostalgia and lyricism similar to that in Sokurov's own art. |
