He explores his aesthetic ideology, filmmakers he admires, and his eventual self-exile from Russia. With pieces from 1962 through 1986, the collection spans the breadth of Tarkovsky's career. He talks about recurring images in his movies--water, horses, fire, snow--but adamantly refuses to divulge what they mean, as he feels that would impose his own meaning onto the audience. In the volume, Tarkovsky candidly and articulately discusses the difficulties of making films under the censors of the Soviet Union. His Andrei Roublev, Solaris, and The Mirror are considered landmarks of postwar Russian cinema.
Five Stars Mykonos8 Fabulous book and I am so glad I found it. A treasure trove for cineasts and other enthusiasts.. "Five Stars" according to Luiz. Very good and inspiring book.. The Greatest Director To Have Lived, Period! This book of interviews with the master is a must for all who love great film, and especially fans of Russian Cinema (and of course Tarkovsky). Thanks Mr. Gianvito!
