Fascinating Perspective,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Andrei Tarkovsky: Elements of Cinema (Paperback)
As the 'Product Description' above indicates, this is a unique approach to a discussion of Tarkovsky's seven feature films and his student film "The Steamroller and the Violin." Dr. Bird has linked the elements of Tarkovsky's filmmaking technique to the literal elements around us. In so doing, he has crafted a revealing and often poetic examination of Tarkovsky's work, and the logic of his approach reveals itself nicely as you proceed through the reading. The text is enhanced by a generous selection of images of the filmmaker and stills from his movies. I would only caution that the book is highly theoretical. For the casual fan (and I honestly don't know if there is such a thing as a 'casual' Tarkovsky fan), this may seem a bit abstract. For devout fans both of Tarkovsky and Russian cinema in general, however, it is a highly enjoyable elaboration of the themes and meanings in a great artist's body of work. Recommended.

Andrei Tarkovsky Cinema,
This review is from: Andrei Tarkovsky: Elements of Cinema (Paperback)
Technically, Andrei Tarkovsky's Cinema is notably well made, with nice period flashback scenes, distinguished widescreen cinematography, elaborate music and great looking central locations.
Overall, I highly recommend this little gem, if you can find it. |
