Director’s Diary

Aleksandr Sokurov

Original title: Zapisnaja knižka režisëra

Director’s Diary  is a journey, with no pretence of closure, a unique reading of the history of the second half of the 20th century. A monumental work with multiple meanings, a spiritual biography of the author set against the backdrop of thousands of faces from an immense country and thousands of events from the pulsating life of the entire globe. The film is similar to a book that the viewer reads, leafing through the pages of history. Literature and cinema merge in a single flow that transcends documentary genres.
