Movie Review
Grade: D+
Three hundred years of Russian history are presented in a single, 90-something minute shot. If that isn't a technical marvel, I don't know what is. Unfortunately, I could film a 90-minute shot of cars driving by and it would be just as entertaining as Russian Ark. Read the full movie review

newbie, by Greg

I couldn't endure this movie. Shut it off after 45 minutes. The idea of the continuous shot intrigued me, but the mindless banter between the narrator and wierd European guy was much too tedious. I guess someone who spoke Russian or was more interested in Russian history might be able to glean some entertainment from the film. But that would be a stretch.
