Tarkovski on Arts, Solitude and Life

Andrei Tarkovsky, A Poet in the Cinema - Part 3

ROAD TO BRESSON - Weg naar Bresson.mov






I remember seeing 'Lancelot du Lac' years ago and I was very impressed by the 'partial pictures' like here the horse's hooves - sometimes it is better not to see everything...

Cinema with an atmosphere…






Some films make me feel the same way - not all are alike but definitively there is something  relating them, at least in my mind… this passion, this sudden sensual infatuation, obsession… that leads to death. Someone’s death, accidental or planned… loyalty not intended. There  are of course others I do not remember at this moment - and of course there are only those people who have experienced something like the feeling described in these films that do understand/like them… or see it necessary to try to make films of such events.  None of these has scored over 8 at IMDb - sentimental rubbish, but there is something very interesting in this kind of rubbish. By the way I do like also Deathrace, 2008, and The Devil Wears Prada, 2006, that scored respectively 6,5 and 6,7 - not such a good taste mine! =)
