If you loved Shooting Dogs, try Russian Ark
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Shooting Dogs, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Russian Ark 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.
