Sokurov spent three films in power ( Toro, Moloch, The Sun ), more precisely in three figures who embodied the absolute power in the twentieth century, Lenin, Hitler, Hiroito for demythologizing, show the human weakness, and thus the absurdity of the support given to them as charismatic leaders. It is not, of course, historical and political analysis, all too easy to reject the simplistic, biased, naive (Hiroito is a kind of wobbly puppet, a paranoid evil Hitler, Lenin a poor sick). Conversely, looking at these pictures from a psycho-spiritual point of view is to do, especially Whereas Lenin, the least battered of the three, a number of considerations about the type of management of the personal life of individuals who are, as it was between hegheliani, "Cosmic Universal individuals." Except Hiroito (a missed opportunity for Sokurov) they are new men, not belonging to the aristocracy and then smoothed with them invincible naivete and crudity, barely controlled, re-emerging in the face of all difficulties and the unfortunate conclusion of their events. Lenin, paralyzed, unable to speak and act, carried out by women of the family and the military is now devoid of any dignity, she is confronted with a cynical loser who goes to visit Stalin asks the poison, alternating pieces rantings of political attacks of rage and fury regressions from poor sick, he seems to be light in the consciousness of failure. If the situation deteriorate and the stimuli exceed a certain threshold, the author suggests, the dignity that the character had tried to put on (even by fraud) was at its height when it shatters and leaves out all the human misery "stripped". This also applies to all of us and concerns the issue of confrontation with the illness and death. Perhaps only the great Louis could say it Les rois sont pas malades, ils meurent.
