Aleksandr Sokurov

A portrait of Naum Kleiman — film scholar, historian, and sage.

Kleiman reveals the simplicity of mystery, and in doing so, reveals himself.

This intimately narrated journey from Russia to Rotterdam, via rail, road and Finnish ferry, is a melancholy meditation on divinity, time and place in art, purpose (or its lack) and the loneliness of the soul. Passing through misty snowscapes, half-glimpsed cities and the icy night sea-swell.
