The Sacred Cinema of Andrei Tarkovski by Jeremy Mark Robinson PAPERBACK

Jeremy Mark Robinson

THE SACRED CINEMA OF ANDREI TARKOVSKY A major new study of Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky (19321986), director of seven feature films, including Mirror, Andrei Roublyov, Solaris and The Sacrifice. ?This book explores every aspect of Andrei Tarkovskys output in the most detailed fashion including scripts, budget, production, shooting, editing, camera, sound, music, acting, themes, symbols, motifs, and spirituality. Tarkovskys films are analyzed in depth, with scenebyscene discussions. This is an important addition to film studies, the most painstaking study of Andrei Tarkovskys work available. Contains 150 illustrations, of Tarkovskys films, Tarkovsky at work, his contemporaries, and his favourite painters. Andrei Tarkovsky is one of the most fascinating of filmmakers. He is supremely romantic, an oldfashioned, traditional artist at home in the company Leonardo da Vinci, Pieter Brueghel, Aleksandr Pushkin, Fyodor Dostoievsky and Byzantine icon painters. Tarkovsky is a magician, no question, but argues for demystification (even while films celebrate mystery). His films are full of magical events, dreams, memory sequences, multiple viewpoints, multiple time zones and bizarre occurrences. As genre films, Andrei Tarkovskys movies are some of the most accomplished in cinema. As science fiction films, Stalker and Solaris have no superiors, and very few peers. Only the greatest scifi films can match them Metropolis, King Kong, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and 2001 A... | Jeremy Mark Robinson The Sacred Cinema of Andrei Tarkovsky Paperback Book
