We have just returned from a week at Borderlines Film Festival and some of the films we saw were by Andrei Tarkovsky who is described as one of the great film directors, and we are not arguing with that statement at all. STALKER is a study of human belief systems and needs, science and art. Which is most important to our wellbeing?
Good question can one exist without the other one wonders?
Tarkovsky sought the answer through his films but whether he found it or not is another question.
I think the belief system is the strongest part in all of this
After that comes much more of the question
But what is it the individual believes in?
That’s the question
Oh my god. I wanna see that film!
You so must! Tarkovsky was exiled by the USSR and made his last two films inItaly and Sweden. Bergman rated his work highly. They are brilliant, poetic ruminations on the human state. Go, go, seek him out and love him 😊
I will. Thank you for the recommendation, Chris! 🙂
Great photo, and Stalker remains one of my favorite movies, absolutely brilliant and thoughtprovoking!
Greetings, Ron
And greetings to you. So glad another fan of the film is riding along with me – Stalker is one of the best ever, in my opinion. Had only seen it on DVD until the festival and it was good to see those images on the big screen. Best wishes Chris 😊
My favorite director. Perfect photo.
Tarkvosky was and is a genius. What he left us with fills me with awe and envy.
