I second the vote for Mother and Son which is one of the best movies I have ever seen. If you tune to its mood/rhthym it is stunning.
Father and Son is even better with all its homoeroticism and queer content. Of course, Sokurov denies all such content, saying decadent Westerners misinterpreted his film. Seems Alexandra let a bit too much of her slip show in that one and had to backtrack. But watched back to back, the films are bracing queer art.
