In this evocative two-part documentary on Alexander Solzhenitsyn, director Alexander Sokurov interprets the Nobel Prize-winning novelist's life based on two lengthy talks with Solzhenitsyn and his wife. Also known as Uzel, Dialogues is not a straightforward biography, but instead focuses on the writer's monologues and his discussions with Sokurov about Russian literature, folklore, history, and language. The result is a portrait of a persecuted Russian legend through his own words.
