An elderly woman travels to the Chechen war zone to see her soldier grandson in Alexander Sokurov’s powerful film. “A film of startling originality and beauty that feels like a communiqué from another time and another place…. Mr. Sokurov has said that ALEXANDRA is about the eternal life of Russia, a sentiment that might sound mawkish coming from another filmmaker. But ALEXANDRA strikes me as an enormously honest work, not just because there is palpable truth in its very location but also because of the contradictions it lays open like a wound.” (Manohla Dargis, New York Times) 95 minutes, in Russian with subtitles. Sponsored by National Life Group. Community Partners: Kellogg-Hubbard Library, Vermont Council on World Affairs, Vermont Council on Aging, Montpelier Senior Center, Peace and Justice Center. Review
