Description
Andrei Tarkovsky: Interviews presents a unique opportunity to explore the life and work of one of Russia's most influential filmmakers. This collection of interviews, spanning over two decades, offers a candid look at Tarkovsky's career, including his experiences making films under Soviet censorship and his artistic vision. Tarkovsky discusses his recurring motifs in his movies, such as water, horses, fire, and snow, without revealing their meaning, instead leaving it to the audience. He also talks about the filmmakers he admires and his eventual self-exile from Russia. Through these conversations, Tarkovsky reveals his rigorous devotion to his art and his vision for filmmaking. With pieces from 1962 through 1986, this volume provides a comprehensive insight into Tarkovsky's career, offering a unique perspective on his life and work.
