Andrey Tarkovsky was the most important Russian filmmaker of the
post-war era, and one of the world's most renowned cinematic
geniuses. He directed the first five of his seven films - Ivan's
Childhood, Andrei Rublev, Solaris, Mirror and Stalker - in the
Soviet Union, but in 1982 defected to Italy, where he made
Nostalgia. His final film, The Sacrifice, was produced in Sweden in
1985. Tarkovsky's films are characterized by metaphysical themes,
extended takes, an absence of conventional dramatical structure and
plot, and a dream-like, visionary style of cinematography. They
achieve a spiritual intensity and transcendent beauty that many
consider to be without parallel. This book presents extended
sequences of stills from each of the films alongside synopses and
cast and crew listings. It includes reflections on Tarkovsky's work
from fellow artists and writers including Jean-Paul Sartre and
Ingmar Bergman, for whom Tarkovsky was 'the greatest, the one who
invented a new language.' Extracts from Tarkovsky's own writings
and diaries offer a wealth of insights into his poetic and
philosophical views on cinematography, which he described as
'sculpting in time'. The book also reproduces many personal
Polaroid photographs that confirm the extraordinary poetic vision
of a great artist who died aged only 54, but who remains a potent
influence on artists and filmmakers today.
