rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author metalluk - Have you ever had the experience of taking a guided tour and being irritated because the tour director was gabbing so much that he or she was detracting from the enjoyment of the site being toured? Russian Ark has all that tantalizing beauty of...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - This movie is a fantasy and runs off the gimmick that it was shot on one 96 minute take. The movie is a homage to the St. Petersburg Hermitage State Museum, a place that has centuries of history to it. If it isn't, it should be one of the 10...

mvie mu-1117146: An Opulent Revisioning Of History As A Single, One-Take Breath: The Russian Ark.

Sat, 5 Apr 2003 07:08:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pach1908 - The fabulous and fantastic restored Downtown Normal (Illinois) Theater has rounded up yet another cinematic first, this time of an even more brilliant nature than that pristine, never-before-run-through-a-projector print of Goldfinger. This time, the...
