In the end, the film suffers from cultural overload.

Sydney Morning Herald
Rating: 3/5 --
More meditative than informative, Francofonia is many things, but it's not your run-of-the-mill documentary. Art and history buffs will get a kick, but perhaps not too many others.

One Room With A View
This is disjointed and dreary, its power diluted by Sokurov's constant, self-important narration.

Chicago Reader
It takes the form of an extended cinematic essay, blending fictionalized re-enactments of plausible events with excursions into scholarship and fantasy.
New York Times
Rating: 2.5/4 --
"More than a documentary, this is a very personal historical essay about the most famous museum in the world".

Cine Vértigo
Francofonia (2015) bristles at labeling. The latest whatsit by Russian titan Alexander Sokurov moves comfortably between categories. It stands three paces to the right of the essay film and three paces to the left of the docudrama.

Rating: 4/5 --
This is graceful and provocative filmmaking. It works both as art history and as an account of wartime Paris under German occupation.

Product Description:
A tour of the Louvre serves as a meditation on art in this experimental film, which explores how the museum avoided being plundered during the Nazi occupation of World War II, and depicts the ghost of Napoleon and the spirit of France wandering among the exhibits. Directed by Alexander Sokurov.
