Aleksandr Sokurov is a Russian film director known for art-house and experimental films such as Faust, Arca Russa (Russian Ark) and Madre e figlio (Mother and Son).

Faust (2011) won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Arca Russa (Russian Ark, 2002) is noted for being filmed in a single continuous take.

The available review (RIBALDO) praises Sokurov's Faust as close to a masterpiece, highlighting oppressive, murky cinematography and an unsettling portrayal of the devil. The film is described as an absurd, disjointed walking journey focused on existential malaise and physical closeness among characters. Sokurov is presented as a maker of intense, art-house cinema.

For:cinephiles, art-house film fans, students of film

 Then there are masterpieces, and Sokurov's Faust is, in my humble opinion, nearly a masterpiece.
