Francofonia

Master filmmaker Alexander Sokurov transforms a portrait of the world-renowned Louvre Museum into a magisterial, centuries-spanning reflection on the relation between art, culture and power, tracing the museum's collection evacuation during World War II and the profound connection between its past and present. This powerful docudrama follows Jacques Jaujard as he leads the effort to rescue the Louvre's treasures from Nazi occupation, weaving a rich tapestry of history, art, and human drama that lingers long after the credits roll.
