Andrei Tarkovsky
7 titles · global slow cinema
Time as the material itself. Tarkovsky's films move at the speed of weather and memory, with water, fire and ruin recurring as more than image, and spiritual crisis treated as the only subject worth the runtime.
Signature
- Very long takes with slow, drifting camera movement.
- Water, rain and dripping interiors in nearly every film.
- Dream, memory and present tense given equal reality.
- Faith and doubt as structure rather than theme.
