Event description:
As a young medical researcher posted to Soviet Turkmenistan looks into the health effects of religious practice, mysterious and inexplicable forces intervene in his personal quest for truth. This stunningly unconventional adaptation of brothers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky’s Soviet science fiction novella “Billion Years to the End of the World” is arguably Sokurov’s masterpiece.
Introduced by Dudley Andrew, Film and Media Studies/Department of Comparative Literature, Yale University
