Time and space, for director Aleksandr Sokurov (Russian Ark), are there to be outwitted as much as honored. Interweaving newsreel footage with playful vignettes from historical figures, this night-at-the-museum reverie evokes the history of Paris’ Louvre museum from the Renaissance through the Nazi occupation to the present day. Reflecting on the relation between art, culture and power, this imaginative cine-essay is “above all a stunning visual achievement” (LA Times). D: Aleksandr Sokurov, Russia, subtitled, 2015, 88m
