Claudio C @Claudio666 Jul 1 Francofonia (2015) Messy and Boring Docudrama (12,541 – 30 Jun 2026 – Claudio Carvalho) "Francofonia" is a messy and boring docudrama by Russian director Alexander Sokurov. The plot is focused on the Louvre Museum during the German occupation in Paris in 1940 and the preservation of its art in. It is focused the relationship of the head of the French National Museums Jacques Jaujard, who stayed in Paris instead of fleeing to Vichy like most of the government representatives, and the noble Count Franziskus Wolff-Metternich. They protected the art from being plundered to Germany. However, the narrative is boring, entwining footages with nonsense elements such as Napoleon Bonaparte and a woman representing France, and a conversation of the director with a friend on a containership. My vote is four. Title (Brazil): "Francofonia: Louvre Sob Ocupação" ("Francofonia: Louvre Under Occupation") See more Julian Rex M @Julian_M 04/13/2025 Lacking the emotional resonance of Sokurov's other museum romp while doubling down on the technical prowess, Francofonia is a passionately delivered love letter to the purity and value of European art that is only occasionally hindered by a thinly written, even painfully unfocused narrative.

Left completely cold by the Marianne/Napoleon stuff, and the directorial voiceover us a pretentious irritant.
