  • Tarkovsky was not just a visionary, but a filmmaker with the power to realize his visions.

    Not as good as expected

    Andrei Tarkovsky is arguably the most inluential Russian director and the prospect of learning more about his life and work was the main reason why I selected this title. The three documentaries are distributed on two DVDs which count as one selection. Only 'A Day in the Life of Tarkovsky' is actually watchable and useful but the title is (fortunately) misleading as it describes his life and films rather than just potraying one singel day of his work. The other two documentaries are frankly so slow and boring that I found them pretty much unwatchable and ended up fast forwarding after 10-15 min of each. I may have missed something important but I doubt it and unless you are a die hard Tarkvsky I think they are a waste of time.
