A must, if you haven't seen it. Unfortunately also one of those cases where HDTV makes no difference, as the image quality is intentionally shitty beyond belief - typical Sokurov's signature, boring in itself in extreme... his childish "trademark"? Like an objectinable smell it follows him, and seeing many of his films I still refuse to believe they would not gain something by using better film stock. Seeing the pale ill-defined shadows move on the screen is not something I usually enjoy.
