Alexander Sokurov’s film is a genuinely stunning technical and logistical achievement, in addition to being a thoughtful and entertaining film. With the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg as a set, the director and co-writer follows an unnamed narrator through centuries of Russian history, encountering figures of past and present along the way, and all in a single continuous take that lasts the entire 90-minute runtime. Three orchestras and 2,000 extras all had to coordinate flawlessly, and the results (space might be fixed as our lead character wanders, but time is certainly not) are absolutely dreamy.
