the russian director. does anyone here like his work? i was
very impressed by andrei rublyov so I went on a
binge: sacrifice .. the stalker ..
solaris (the original, not the george clooney
remake!). and i haven't been disappointed. amazing capacity
to transfigure human spirituality into landscape,
atmosphere.. i still haven't seen nostalghia. my local video
rental store doesn't have it :(

he's my favourite filmmaker ever, bar none. i've seen all
his films... and i'm even going to get to do a course on him
next year... i'm very very excited!

my personal faves are Stalker and Mirror.

one of the greatest directors ever, i'v only seen Solaris
and Stalker... moth immediately went into my top 10 films of
all time list. Can't wait to be able to afford his other
films on dvd!

"solaris" is super, just super.

I've had "stalker" for some time, haven't come around to
watching it yet though.

it's being offered by the U of A next fall... it's not all
Tarkovsky, but it's okay, because the other two directors we
will be focusing on are Stan Brakhage (who also rules a
great deal), and Hans-Jurg Syderberg (who i know absolutely
nothing about)....

I've seen Stalker. It made me feel quite weird, which
means that I liked it a lot, I guess.

I have seen his "zjerkalo" ("the mirror") - excellent,
emotional stuff, but I do not think his art is exactly my
cup of tea :).. prefer Lynch's darkness, Fellini's
perversion and Kar Wai's rush. Tarkowski's too sad in a way
I do not like.

agree re fellini. 8 1/2 is probably my favorite movie.

Solaris and Stalker are bloody brilliant. I have Nostalghia
recorded off the telly, but it's on an unmarked tape that I
can't seem to find.

Anyone in the Los Angeles area might want to check out the
Egyptian movie theatre in Hollywood, as I heard they will be
showing all of his films there in a month or two.
