Work on the painting of Alexander Sokurov's Faust, which was already mentioned, is frozen. The film turned out to be harder than anticipated, and now the budget is exhausted, take additional financing nowhere. In an interview with director said that he would soon "get rid of the picture" because it is waiting for the next project - the nonfiction film about the Louvre during the German occupation. The painting will be involved a lot of newsreel war years, and the rest of the material should be removed this fall, because next year at the Louvre begin repair work.
