Eastern Elegy
1996, Russia, Japan, 43 min., 16+
First film in a cycle of Sokurov's Oriental-themed meditative documentaries.
Visually impressionistic, atmospherically dense, and narratively opaque, Oriental Elegy is the surreal journey of a displaced spirit (Aleksandr Sokurov) as he wanders in the interminable darkness through the temporal landscape of a quaint and isolated feudal-era fishing village.
