The first three installments were dedicated to prominent 20th-century rulers: Moloch (1999), about Hitler, Taurus (2001), about Lenin, and The Sun (2005) about Hirohito. In 2011, Sokurov shot the last part of the series, Faust, a retelling of Goethe's tragedy. The film, depicting instincts and schemes of Faust in his lust for power, premiered on 8 September 2011 in competition at the 68th Venice International Film Festival.[7] The film won the Golden Lion, the highest award of the Venice Festival.[2] Producer Andrey Sigle said about Faust: "The film has no particular relevance to contemporary events in the world – it is set in the early 19th century – but reflects Sokurov's enduring attempts to understand man and his inner forces."[8] diff --git a/Bootstrap.md b/Bootstrap.md index 99ff358ca..91585aa85 100644 --- a/Bootstrap.md +++ b/Bootstrap.md @@ -1,2 +1,7 @@ - For instructions to bootstrap a Flancian, see [[go/flancian/git]]. - You may feel the need to grow a carbon-based Flancian.
