Even if you’re not familiar with his arthouse fare like "The Sun," "Alexandra," and "Faust," you’ve likely heard of Alexander Sokurov‘s "Russian Ark." His 2002 movie took audiences inside the Winter Palace of the Russian State Hermitage Museum, for a film presented in a single, unbroken Steadicam shot. It was attention grabbing stuff, and now the filmmaker has made the Louvre his latest cinematic playground with "Franofonia," and a new trailer has arrived.
Starring Louis-Do de Lencquesaing, Benjamin Utzerath, Vincent Nemeth, Johanna Korthals Altes, Jean-Claude Caër, and Andrey Chelpanov, the docudrama details France’s relationship to the arts throughout history. Here’s the official synopsis:
"Francofonia" makes its World Premiere in Venice, and then have its North American bow at TIFF. Watch below.
