Alexander Sokurov quotes

Alexander Sokurov is a prominent Russian film director, screenwriter, and producer, acclaimed for his experimental and philosophical approach to cinema. His films explore profound themes of history, power, and the human condition, often blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality. He continues to influence world cinema with his distinctive visual style and thought-provoking narratives. Here is 1 of his quotes:

...Yuri Khanin, a young composer, this year a graduate of the Leningrad Conservatory managed to do everything about the orchestration, arrangement and choice of instruments in a very precise way. It was done with an ideal exactitude. Never before had I worked with composers so much, and I was really struck by his understanding. I think that sound, no less than the image, should produce not only emotional impact, but is to have an altogether independent semantic meaning. The spirituality of the film as if finds its expression through the sound. And spirituality would not emerge by itself. If you might sometimes fail to keep alive the memory of a visual image in your mind and in your heart the soul would never forget sounds... (Alexander Sokurov)
