ELEGY OF A VOYAGE
In this spiritual filmic journey, Sokurov traverses the snowy landscapes of Europe. "A tour de force of movement, right down to the micro-undulation that gives the screen the aspect of tremulous living tissue" (Artforum). 2001, Russia/France/The Netherlands, video, in Russian with English subtitles, 47 minutes.

DOLCE
Miho Shimao, widow of well-known Japanese poet Toshio Shimao, is the subject of this intense meditation on grieving and love. Using vertical framing, Sokurov captures the internal space of the paneled Japanese home; he also finds unexpected joy in Miho's tentative nostalgic smiles and catharsis through a tumultuous storm. 1999, Russia/Japan, video, in Russian and Japanese with English subtitles, 60 minutes.
