This film is the most ambitious in film history. A 90-minute feature film is made in one shot with one shot, and it is a long shot with constant movement and great scene scheduling. The difficulty of shooting is beyond imagination. Because of the coherence of the shots, the whole film is as natural and smooth as the clouds and waters. Time roaming in an ancient palace, reviewing and thinking about the history of Russia, and finally the shot is turned from indoors to outdoors, and the field of vision becomes wider, symbolizing the prospect of the future.

Sokolov hopes to resurrect the imaginary and aesthetic Russian golden age with a block-shaped overall space, and connect it with continental European culture, and usher in the end of the film-the pale, fading era: 1917 Nothing in "Russian Ark" mentions the Soviet red regime, but this historical absence has become a scarred existence in the true sense, and it also exists in the Russian audience watching it. However, under the baroque existence of "Russia", a postmodern writing was accidentally completed. The long shot and voice-over framed a hidden subject for the film, and witnessed a time of Deleuze with different scenes and speed movements. In this ark, the co-presence of history/reality means that the linear chronological history is broken, and it is arbitrarily connected with the current or non-historical state, and smoothly the camera’s Movement, an inland space-style plateau was created.

He's hard enough to make, and he's ambitious enough, but to me, it's a really unattractive film. It's really uncomfortable when the camera becomes a character throughout the film, forcing you to constantly zoom in on the camera's presence.

Orbeli: Is something still troubling you? Is it the authorities? They want acorns without oak trees. They are not interested in knowing how to nurture the tree of culture, but it will be their doom if the tree falls. Then there will be nothing left. Can't they understand that?
