Background



'Empire' was inspired by Lucille Fletcher's radio drama 'Sorry, Wrong Number'. For the film, Sokurov, as often, selected a single motif from the work of inspiration in this case, it was the sickness of a woman.

It was produced as the graduation work of S. Sidorov from the VGIK. At that time Sokurov was not allowed to work on his own films, and saw this as an opportunity to continue work in the field.
