Alexander Sokurov’s masterpiece is a multi-award winning film consisting of one unbroken camera shot that moves through St. Petersburg’s Hermitage Museum. Glides through 33 rooms of the Hermitage, moving in and out of cathedral-like galleries, opulent ballrooms and shadowy corridors and workrooms, three centuries of Russian history and European art are compressed into a single 96 minute shot.
