Sokurov's problem [read- the movie-goers problem] is that he presents himself as some sort of an intellectual, and he really is not.
Both him and Tarkovsky, his idol, also suffered from the lack of good editing, imo. 3-hour films that well could've been 1.5 hours long[Sacrifice] and retain the meaning, and Sokurov's 90-minute Mother that should've been a 15 minute long film school graduation project.
