If you loved Mother and Son, 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
Both films are directed by Aleksandr Sokurov, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mother and Son, 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.
