Le Tombeau d'Alexandre plot
In this documentary, the complexity of the contrast between 'cinema as the truth' and 'cinema as a lying medium' is played out to the full. It is an ode to Aleksander Medvedkin, a Russian filmmaker from the 1930s who, because of his groundbreaking work and pure communism, was constantly at odds with Stalin's lust for power, murderousness and bureaucracy. In a collage of letters, archive material, film fragments and interviews with family, friends and colleagues, Marker unravels not only the 'unsung' genius of Medvedkin and his masterpiece 'Happiness', but also the capricious history of a people without freedom and its completely exhausted nation, the Soviet Union.
