I will not pretend I understood the meaning of every single image I saw, or that I am fully behind Aleksandr Sokurov's views. But I am very happy to have taken this trip through the Louvre, and he sure is an able and knowledgeable guide.

This is graceful and provocative filmmaking. It works both as art history and as an account of wartime Paris under German occupation.

This is disjointed and dreary, its power diluted by Sokurov's constant, self-important narration.

Rating: C- --
"Francofonia" is terribly over-directed and seems strange just for the sake of being strange.

Francofonia (2015) bristles at labeling. The latest whatsit by Russian titan Alexander Sokurov moves comfortably between categories. It stands three paces to the right of the essay film and three paces to the left of the docudrama.

In the grand scheme of things, it's not much, but it's something worth fighting for.

In the end, the film suffers from cultural overload.

Product Description:
A tour of the Louvre serves as a meditation on art in this experimental film, which explores how the museum avoided being plundered during the Nazi occupation of World War II, and depicts the ghost of Napoleon and the spirit of France wandering among the exhibits. Directed by Alexander Sokurov.
