Russian Ark
2002 · TMDB 7.2 · Русский ковчег
Directed by Aleksandr Sokurov
A ghost and a French marquis wander through the Winter Palace in St Petersburg, encountering scenes from many different periods of its history.
Why it matters
Sokurov's single unbroken glide through the Winter Hermitage is a ghost story told in one breath, with thousands of performers and three centuries of Russian history passing in a corridor. The camera is a time traveller who cannot stop moving.
