| DVD

Following the acclaimed first release of Confession Spiritual Voices and Sonata For Viola Quantum Leap & Ideale Audience International are proud to announce the release of a new title in the Alexander Sokourov DVD Collection ELEGY OF THE LAND presents two films by Alexander Sokurov the earliest works of the filmmaker that he has allowed to be made public. A requiem in memory of a Russian peasant woman MARIA (40 minutes) starts as a colourful summer impression of Maria Voinova who grew flax all her life. The audience is plunged into a pastoral atmosphere as we... see her haymaking harvesting bathing in the river working in the flax fields and holidaying at a Black Sea resort. Several years later Maria died tragically. The film crew returned to the village of Vedenino some months after her death. Everything there had changed LAST DAY OF A RAINY SUMMER (30 minutes) documents the daily life of an ordinary collective farm in the U.S.S.R. in 1978 : hard-working people who love their work just because they are brought up to do so with almost no rewards from life and in an atmosphere contaminated with official rhetoric.
