Whispering Pages

Whispering Pages, also transliterated as Tikhiye Stranitsy (Russian: Тихие страницы), is a 1994 Russian film directed by Alexander Sokurov.[1] A man wanders slowly through the catacombs of a wrecked city, passing by ruins, listless denizens milling about, unruly mobs, and acts of mass suicide.He agrees to do some paperwork to move a dead body, but the bureaucrat who manages the forms ensnares him in Kafkaesque questions.He admits, perhaps not honestly, to a murder, and confronts a prostitute about sin, shame, and God.At the end of the film, he sits down under the statue of a lion and then disappears.
