Leningrad Retrospective

Ленинградская ретроспектива

Also known as Leningradskaya retrospektiva (1957-1990)

A montage of Leningrad newsreel becomes a composite collage made up of documents-shots, divided in 16 parts, presenting the author's point of view on Russia and modern times. In the title, Sokurov appears as 'compiler' and the selection of the documents is just like an artistic process.
