Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky

With Oleg Yankovskiy,Erland Josephson,Domiziana Giordano,Patrizia Terreno,Laura De Marchi

"Tarkovsky for me is the greatest [director], the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream."

—Ingmar Bergman

New 35mm print! A Kino Lorber release.

Exiled from the USSR, consummate film poet Tarkovsky (Solaris, Stalker) poured his stirrings of homesickness into this spectrally beautiful, metaphysical exploration of spiritual isolation and Russian identity. While researching the turbulent life of a 17th-century composer in the perpetually mist-shrouded Tuscan countryside, a soul-sick Russian poet (Yankvosky) forms an unusual kinship with an apocalypse-obsessed local madman (Josephson). Tarkovsky evokes the textures of dreams and memories through ravishing monochrome and sepia-toned reveries and flashbacks, while conjuring the hushed and haunted tone of a trance in this late-career masterwork.
