Ark is actually perhaps his most watchable movie - try some earlier ones, from the time when he developed his ugly touch.I presume he knew that the Ark's target audience (foreigners, for sure... we've been through this one!) would not tolerate the images of the Molokh, so he had to tone his "artistism" down great deal.
I believe his "touch" indeed originated from bad film stock, but as I have not been exacty the student of his art, I will not swear to that at this moment. I will find out for sure - one friend is his fan and has all his films.

...he didn't remember that episode. I don't know where I heard/read about it, just remember the fact itself... maybe someone pulled my leg.He referred me to Sokurov's web site, modestly called Sokurov's Island, and I poked around that one, it is in Russian, of course, but also no mention of that story... so at this point consider it for what it's worth.
