If you loved Disparando a perros (Shooting Dogs), try El arca rusa
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Theysit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Disparando a perros (Shooting Dogs), the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What El arca rusa is
Eyes Wide Shut without the orgy. An unseen narrator floats through the Winter Palace with a foppish 19th-century diplomat. History becomes a ghostly, unspooling procession. A technical marvel, yes, but also a reminder of cinema's potential to conjure.
