Sokurov's "Alexandra," joins an elite list of great anti-war films.

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

And it does so without one bullet being fired, one violent episode.
An elderly woman journeys to Chechnya to visit her soldier grandson who is garrisoned in a violent area where guerilla activity occurs.
If you're familiar with Sokurov's oeuvre, you won't be surprised at the quietness, the psychological power which makes it almost seem more like a surreal short story than a film. Like some sort of alchemy--- not much seems to happen on screen--- the viewer is transformed into caring not only for the characters, not only for the people, but for ALL people, for all who have experienced the terrors of war. Who better than a Russian to argue the absurdity of war?
