Visitor of a Museum (Church of Film)

In the near future, the polar ice caps have melted and laid waste to the world. A small ruling class emerges jealously guarding the remains of civilizations, while the deeply religious masses, born “degenerate” from the toxic air and water, are driven into camps or kept as servants. They await a savior. Suddenly a man emerges. He is seeking a museum that becomes accessible for only one week a year, when the sea levels drop and the oceans part—and he is seeking faith in a world without salvation.

Moody, terrifying, and hallucinatory, VISITOR OF A MUSEUM is perhaps the most acclaimed film of Konstantin Lopushansky, a protege of Andrei Tarkovsky.
