From the director of "Russian Ark".
This is a real arthouse film about Emperor Hirohito at the end of WW2 - an amazing contrast to "Downfall" and more of an experince than a film. Truly amazing in its portrayal of a man in a bubble of ritual beurocracy. .. reminded me of Samuel Becket.

Russian Ark is my favourite film, but watching Molokh, the third instalment in the quadrilogy about tyrants, was a bit of a chore for me. My mistake was watching it in DivX. I think Sokurov's movies should be watched in theatres. Otherwise you cannot separate yourself from external stimuli and that is necessary to get yourself immersed. DVD can't do it justice, unless you have a projector.
Anyway, I heard that The Sun is the best of the four. Looking forward to watching it.
