Alexander Sokurov, the heavily-acclaimed Russian director, brings us Alexandra. A film, which delves deep into the testosterone fuelled environment of a Russian Troop in war-torn Chechnya and follows one old womens search for her grandson, who she has not seen for 7 years. This film, which explores the acidic nature of war, and its cold, unfeeling web, chillingly encourages the viewer to look deep into Sokurovs message about life.

2007 film, directed by Alexsandr Sokurov, depicting the life of a group of Russian soldiers in war-torn Chechnya. Seen from the perspective of an old woman, the film explores family relationships in a masculine world full of violence, fear and death. Alexandra (Galina Vishnevskaya) travels to Chechnya to find her grandson (Vasily Shevtsov) whom she has not seen for seven years. Able, because of her age, to move apparently freely between the military and the civilian population, Alexandra discovers the everyday aspirations and motivations of characters on both sides of the conflict.
