Synopsis

Although regarding himself an agnostic, Tarkovskii never ceased to declare that the ultimate objective of human existence is the broadening of one’s mind and spiritual development. True art was born in Stalker, The Mirror, Andrei Rublev etc. Witnessing with sorrow the increasing commercialization of the film world, Tarkovsky found poetic solace in the works of Ingmar Bergman, Michelangelo Antonioni and Robert Bresson. —Kinokultura.com

" I believe only poets will remain in the history of cinema. I think there exists a law: author cinema is made of poets and all great directors are poets. And what is a poet in cinema? He is a director who creates his own world without reproducing the reality around him." -AT
