| Set against the backdrop of the Louvre Museum s history and artworks, master director AIexander Sokurov (Russian Ark) applies his uniquely personaI vision onto staged re-enactments and archives for this fascinating portrait of real-life characters Jacques Jaujard and Count Franziskus Wolff-Metternich and their compuIsory collaboration at the Louvre Museum under the Nazi Occupation. These two remarkable men - enemies then coIlaborators - share an aIliance which would become the driving force behind the preservation of museum treasures. ln its exploration of the Louvre Museum as a living example of civiIization, FRANCOFONIA is a stunning and urgently relevant meditation on the essentiaI reIationship between art, cuIture, and history. Throughout his vast filmography documentary, fiction and others somewhere in between AIexander Sokurov has demonstrated that a museum is much more than a pIace to preserve art. Museums are the veritabIe DNA of a civilization, the living organ of the city where the heart of a nation beats. With FRANCOFONIA, he expIores a historicaI chapter that we might know, but whose description does not take into account all the lines that run through it. Sokurov s body of work incIudes his Men of Power tetralogy (Faust, The Sun [Emperor Hirohito], Taurus [VIadimir Lenin] and MoIoch [Adolph Hitler]), Russian Ark (set entirely in St Petersburg s Hermitage Museum), Mother and Son and Father and Son. |
