Russian Ark is one of my most favorite films. One take, one shot, over 2000 actors, three live orchestras, and filmed in 33 rooms of St. Petersburg's Hermitage Castle. It is a gorgeous movie of epically historical proportions both for its period reenactment and for its cinematic achievement. This film is hauntingly beautiful as it captures a bygone era of elegance and grandeur of a pre-communist Russia.
