Collected Tarkovskii (Paperback, Main)

Since his death, Andrei Tarkovsky (1932-86) has become increasingly recognized as one of the true masters of world cinema. In the Soviet Union of his generation, where the collective was of the utmost importance, he dared to create his own provocatively original style of filmmaking. His non-realistic, highly charged images continued to be a source of inspiration—not only for a new generation of filmmakers but also for poets, musicians, and painters—even after he defected to the West, where Nostalgia was shot in Italy in 1983. His last film, The Sacrifice, was filmed in Sweden with Ingmar Bergman's collaborators.

This volume collects the scripts for his great works, including Solaris, Mirror, Stalker, Nostalgia, The Sacrifice, and Ivan's Childhood. These scripts both deepen and expand our understanding of Tarkovsky's films, for they map out the early progressions and personages (some of which were never embodied on the screen) in his work while also helping to clarify the obscure characters, images, and sequences that are so central to this great filmmaker's unique art and craft.
