Francofonia may test the patience of the uninitiated, but viewers willing to delve into a beautifully filmed look at the intersection of art and war will be richly rewarded.

In praise of art, but also a reminder that we need to treasure what we have. Nov 11, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

By turns baffling, disturbing, moving and provocative, Alexander Sokurov's dreamy documentary stimulates the heart and head, just as it tests the limits of descriptive analysis. Nov 10, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

This is disjointed and dreary, its power diluted by Sokurov's constant, self-important narration. May 23, 2016 | Full Review…

Francofonia is a brilliant meditation on art, on war - and what happens to art when nations go to war. May 6, 2016 | Full Review…

More meditative than informative, Francofonia is many things, but it's not your run-of-the-mill documentary. Art and history buffs will get a kick, but perhaps not too many others. Apr 18, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Francofonia (2015) bristles at labeling. The latest whatsit by Russian titan Alexander Sokurov moves comfortably between categories. It stands three paces to the right of the essay film and three paces to the left of the docudrama. Oct 24, 2018 | Full Review…

Enjoy scoping the things you can never quite get a look at because of the stampede of tourists, and mull over Sokurov's sentiment that the contents of the Louvre are worth more than all of France. Jan 2, 2018 | Full Review…
