Alexandra Alexandra

Alexandra packs her bags and heads off to the Chechnyan border. She has been given permission to visit her grandson, who is posted there with the Russian army. She is a bit of a nuisance, who says what she thinks no matter where she is. Sokurov’s humanistic contribution to the debate about the savagery of large nations, however, is mostly very restrained. The camera angles are chosen carefully, and Alexandra is portrayed neutrally. We can see how she becomes good friends with the old Chechen women but also how she is mildly puzzled by the military machinery. Alexandra is not Sokurov’s biggest and most ambitious production, but neither is it his most monotonous film. It is possibly his most humanistic and restrained work, and it suits the Russian master to be less acerbic and demagogic than we have previously known him to be. What’s more, we are neither shown the rumblings and explosions of the war, nor the enemy, as the latter is often to be found within ourselves.
Alexander Sokurov
Born 1951 in Russia. He studied history at Gorky University and worked in television, until he went to film school. Here, he built up a close relationship with the master Andrei Tarkovsky (Solaris), which had a decisive influence on his work. But Sokurov’s poetic and intellectual films ran into trouble with state censorship, and many of his earlier works were only shown after Perestroika. Among his best-known films are Mother and Son (1996) and, not least, Russian Ark (2002).
