CB 315: Aleksandr Sokurov’s “Francofonia,” 2015.

So the same old slow-seller reappeared on the market. Can you guess which I mean? This product may be very expensive or be free. But the price of this product is always set by the buyer. Were you able to guess? No? Think it over. I see you weren’t able to guess. 

It’s peace. Simply peace. Calm. Peace can always be bought.

This week’s writeup for CINE-FILE. The19th Chicago European Union Film Festival runs March 4th - 31st at the Gene Siskel Film Center. FRANCOFONIA screens tomorrow at 6pm.
