Painting is much on the mind of director Aleksandr Sokurov (Russian Ark) in this pair of short films that explore the relationship between art, emotion and place. In Elegy of a Voyage, a mysterious journey ends at a deserted museum before a famous Peter Saenredam landscape, and in Hubert Robert, A Fortunate Life, Sokurov focuses on the French romantic artist whose paintings of imaginary ruins evoke feelings similar to Sokurov's own work.
