Russian Ark

Opens on December 2

Director: Aleksandr Sokurov Run Time: 99 min. Format: DCP Release Year: 2002 Language: Russian

Russian filmmaker Alexander Sokurov broke boundaries with this dreamlike vision of the Hermitage in St. Petersburg – and it was an unexpected hit at The Brattle when we premiered it in 2003. RUSSIAN ARK is the first feature-length narrative film shot in a single take. The film is presented from the point-of-view of an unseen narrator, as he explores the museum and mysteriously travels through Russian history. RUSSIAN ARK is not only a groundbreaking technical achievement but also a phantasmagoric cinematic treasure that takes full advantage of cinema’s close relationship with dreams.

Please Note: All in-person screenings at the Brattle now require proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test (within 72-hours).
