The Island (2006)
Storyline:
Somewhere in Northern Russia in a small Russian Orthodox monastery lives an unusual man whose bizarre conduct confuses his fellow monks, while others who visit the island believe that the man has the power to heal, exorcise demons and foretell the future.
Almost a sinful pleasure is Andrey Zhegalov's striking widescreen cinematography...the unusual northern landscape yields to the austerity of drained monochromes lit by dazzling skies.
