Moscow Elegy
(Moskovskaya elegia)

Screening on Film

Directed by Alexander Sokurov.
USSR, 1986–87, 35mm, black & white, 88 min.
Russian with English subtitles.

This documentary is a subjective, elegiac portrait of Andrei Tarkovsky, focusing on the director’s work as it was received in Russia and on his forced exile in the west. Originally intended to mark the Tarkovsky’s fiftieth birthday, the film was delayed because of disagreements over the style and content of the project from the Soviet Professional Union of Cinematographers.
