Much as he celebrated Russia’s Hermitage in "Russian Ark," director Alexander Sokurov renders a remarkable docudrama tribute to the Louvre, giving particularly focus to the survival of the building and its treasures during the Nazi occupation due to the improbable alliance of determined museum official Jacques Jaujard (Louis-Do de Lencquesaing) and sympathetic German officer Franziskus Wolff Metternich (Benjamin Utzerath). Vincent Nemeth, Johanna Korthals Altes also star. 87 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French, German and Russian Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; featurettes. In French, German and Russian with English subtitles.
