Alexandra (2007)

£0.00

(Aleksandra)


Country: RUS/FR
Technical: col/1.66:1 95m
Director: Alexander Sokurov
Cast: Galina Vishnevskaya, Vasily Shevtsov, Raisa Gicheva

Synopsis:

The grandmother of a Russian officer in Chechnya makes the punishing journey and braves the high temperatures to visit him at his base. Her sojourn leaves its mark on both the other squaddies and the local Chechens.

Review:

Quiet, leisurely and elegiac chamber piece, much less concerned with the politics of the Chechen conflict than with its study of personal strength, and playing on its deployment of a celebrated opera diva in the leading role.
