Add to a movie listThe Lonely Voice of Man (Russian: Одинокий голос человека), also known as The Lonely Human Voice, is the first full-feature film by Alexander Sokurov. It was originally filmed in 1978 and reconstructed in 1987 at the Lenfilm studios. The film is largely based on Andrei Platonov's River Potudan and Origin of the Master, although it is not a direct film adaptation in the traditional sense but rather a recreation of the spiritual nature of Platonov's prose.
Synopsis
Inspiré de deux récits de l'auteur soviétique Andrei Platonov, longtemps condamné, "la Voix solitaire de l'homme", le premier long métrage de Sokurov, a été interdit pendant dix ans. Ce film explore la relation manquée d'un jeune vétéran déséquilibré de la guerre civile des années vingt et d'une jeune femme peu orthodoxe.Comments

Le film raconte les derniers jours de la vie de Lénine. Le film commence par une scène en huis clos dans la chambre de Lénine dont les multiples portes s'ouvrent tour à tour; les proches du vieillard malade épient, interviennent dans les crises de sénilité, s'occupent de son corps impotent. La puissance du film provient de ce refus de la perspective historique par la description méticuleuse d'un vieillard, parfois dans ses aspects les plus triviaux.

At the residence, Braun spends her spare time with trivial pursuits such as whimsically dancing in the nude, humming to military style marching band music, and rummaging through Hitler's personal belongings. Later, Braun is thrilled to learn that her beloved "Adi", as she affectionately calls him, will be joining her for a visit. Hitler is accompanied by guests Joseph Goebbels (Leonid Sokol), Magda Goebbels (Yelena Spiridonova), Martin Bormann (Vladimir Bogdanov) and a priest (Anatoli Shvedersky) for conversation and playful banter.
