Francofonia
An elegy for Europe
A meditative, visually sumptuous essay-film that uses the Louvre as a lens to contemplate art's fragility amid historical violence and the enduring power of culture to transcend power.
Master filmmaker Alexander Sokurov (Russian Ark) transforms a portrait of the world-renowned museum into a magisterial, centuries-spanning reflection on the relation between art, culture and power.
