Cool vid. I’m shocked how young and vibrant Tarkovsky looked then; I forgot how young he died. Welles is in good shape here as well. Welles’ filmmaking days were behind him but he was still a fascinating character, sad how quickly after this they both went downhill :(

Well, yes. The 1980’s were a sad decade for filmmaking; in a few years Hitchcock, Buñuel, Truffaut, Welles and Tarkovsky died. But Bresson lived until 1999, he was the “Old Master” for sure, lol.
