Significantly more linear than his previous spectacle The Russian Ark (2002), Alexander Sokurov’s new film, Alexandra, is no less beautiful. In wartime Chechnya, Alexandra, a typical elderly Russian woman (read: stern yet loveable), visits her grandson in a Russian army camp. Despite having lived through many wars, she discovers that this conflict is more surreal than she has ever experienced.
