For me he is not only a genius, he is a Master...that one who can lead other through the path of true spirituality, the path of joy and self-realization. He is the only filmaker who revolutionated cinema as an artistic way to enlight humanity. Thanks Tarkovsky, you never imagined your work will touch some many.
@GmanVid I agree completely. Post-war soviet cinema's two gods are Tarkovsky and Parajanov. To complete the holy trinity of Soviet cinema you'd have to add Dovzhenko. Their films seem to be shot on a different planet than planet earth, they seem to come from a different world. Barnet is another magician. What's so special about Parajanov is, although he had such a difficult life, his films contain so much love for the seemingly profane things in life, like through the eyes of a child.
understanding the film or not. A film should be an independent entity. It should be able to stand on its own feet unless specifically stated otherwise by the makers. That being said. I really love solyaris and the book is a terrific read on its own :) Though I think that Andrei became too introverted in his later films. Most of them only consisting of endless panning and rambling philosophical speeches. For me at least. I know most critics love them though and maybe they where the target.
I actually am I rather large Tarkovsky fan...and have filmed and written a tribute video for the genius of his work... check it out if you have time. Thank you. Search "Poisoned Ink" to view it. It's a metaphor of the rise and fall of Tarkovsky's career as a filmmaker and artist... thanks again.
@trakovskyfilm You're just trying to capitalize on the fact that your name is spelled almost the same way. That's a cheap gimmick. Why don't you just make your own films and see how good they are? AT is a highly overrated, outdated Soviet-era phenomenon. Lift up your head and see the sky. AT had an inflated notion of himself, and hated the work of just about everybody else... Which is a pretty dumb way to look at the movies. There's lots of good stuff out there. Define yourself in your own right
You have clearly missed the point. His way of looking is beyond you, let alone his view on movies and cinema. Pls be patient and refrain from passing the judgements that will appear silly to you when you revisit them from time to time.
Tarkovsky was not remotely Russia's best filmmaker. The man was basically weird and whatever he had to say got garbled in his private obsessions with his own personal traumas.
Your first part of the sentence is right. He was not Russias best film maker. He was much more. He was the worlds best filmmaker and your obsessions not to like him is your personal trauma. :-)))

You are absolutely right. For me there was a before and an after 'Stalker'. I never thought films could be made like that.
Andrei Tarkovsky was a saint who chose to make films.
one of the few pure auteurs in the cinema history....
Tarkovsky and Kubrick sit at the top of the pantheon.
This video was up loaded 25 days after I was born now I’m 14 that’s nuts
So🤔

Excellent. Tarkovsky = amazing.
great visionary, hundred years ahead of his time.
what the title of the movie,I want to watch it entirely
A Poet in the Cinema. (as for the images, Solaris)
One thing for sure - that 'Stalker' movie works very well against insomnia!
osaka
Once upon a time we had art. Now we have TikTok
Stan? do you mean STANislav Lem or STANley Kubrick?

what
filmmakers are better?

Maria Ashot crazy comment lol
Tarkovski was possible, the greatest filmaker in history.
