Russian Ark Ratings & Reviews

  • Jefferson BittencourtJuly 5, 2025
    Masterpiece. The technical feat of filming everything in a single continuous shot is both special and magnificent, but what moves me most in this film is the poetry of the music with the images, the sound design with the light in each frame. Sokurov is one of the greats of our time.
