Movie Reviews

SF Weekly - 9/10 by Sherilyn ConnellyWhat's most impressive is the access Sokurov and his camera got to the great works of the Louvre, thus allowing a closer look than we're ever likely to get in person.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA) - 9/10 by Charles MudedeThis is one of the best films by the great Russian director Alexander Sokurov.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - 9/10 by Barry ParisThese 90 minutes fly by fast, by turns fun and funereal, in a rich rumination on war vs. culture, time vs. the timelessness of art.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Steven ReaFrancofonia is a brilliant meditation on art, on war - and what happens to art when nations go to war.
AV Club - 9/10 by Ignatiy VishnevetskyLess fluid than "Russian Ark," Francofonia is even harder to pigeonhole, which is something of a feat.
Movie Mezzanine - 9/10 by Kenji FujishimaSokurov's film is filled-to-bursting with passion and ideas - consistently fascinating, thought-provoking and beautiful to behold. I look forward to parsing its many layers in subsequent viewings.
Willamette Week - 9/10 by John LocanthiFrancofonia is a Russian documentary that weaves between archival footage and pictures and historical re-creation to tell the story of the Louvre, primarily during the German occupation of France during WWII.
Hyperallergic - 9/10 by Tanner TafelskiFrancofonia (2015) bristles at labeling. The latest whatsit by Russian titan Alexander Sokurov moves comfortably between categories. It stands three paces to the right of the essay film and three paces to the left of the docudrama.
Variety - 8/10 by Jay WeissbergDoes it all come together? Well, yes, if viewers think of the film as a freewheeling poetic essay, highly personal yet captivating.
Independent (UK) - 8/10 by Geoffrey MacnabThis is graceful and provocative filmmaking. It works both as art history and as an account of wartime Paris under German occupation.
