by Alexander Sokurov, 2011
I’ve
only seen this great film by way of a Russian dvd video recording (as
it didn’t get a very extensive release in the United States,) in which
the German dialogue, with a slight delay, was loudly spoken in Russian
translation over top of the quieter German. It created an
unintentional yet effective alienation effect that was not completely
unpleasant. Luckily I knew the story that Sokurov was telling very well
and the images were every bit as ravishing as one might expect from
this master.
