There's an unlovely self-importance to Sokurov's droning diatribe that rather distracts from the cultural significance of the subject.

In praise of art, but also a reminder that we need to treasure what we have.

This is graceful and provocative filmmaking. It works both as art history and as an account of wartime Paris under German occupation.
