Russian cinema master Alexander Sokurov has been preparing his new work "The Louvre Under Occupation" since winning the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 2011 for "Faust." In this film, Sokurov turns his lens towards the Louvre in Paris, pulling time back to the World War II era to explore the core connection between art and politics under Nazi occupation. The film has been shortlisted for the Golden Lion at the 72nd Venice Film Festival. After four years of silence, the Russian film master is set to present his new work in the water city again. It remains to be seen whether he can win the award again, but as the world premiere of this film, it is enough to attract widespread attention. Sokurov has always been keen on making films about history and power. Three parts of his representative "Quadrilogy of Power" include: "Moloch," about Hitler; "Russian Ark," featuring Lenin; and "The Sun," about Emperor Hirohito of Japan. As an art enthusiast, Sokurov has a strong affinity for museums that are treasure troves of culture, having already shot at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg in his acclaimed 2002 work "Russian Ark." This new work "The Louvre Under Occupation" directly focuses on the world's foremost museum, the Louvre in France, and is sure to stage a historical entanglement involving art, politics, and culture.
