Quotes

Andrei Tarkovsky: Always with huge gratitude and pleasure I remember the films of Sergei Parajanov which I love very much. His way of thinking, his paradoxical, poetical... ability to love the beauty and the ability to be absolutely free within his own vision

User Reviews

interesting?

I don't know whether I expected something more challenging...The landscapes are quite interesting, though the final cut of Nostalghia is considerably more beautiful. I found Tarkovsky's commentaries on the work of other directors quite interesting, though most of what he said was already obvious from his films. I couldn't understand Guera's poetry lesson, maybe it has a meaning, most probably is just an exercise in vanity.

Overall the movie is rewarding in several respects, any Tarkovsky fan should see it for the master and his eye in picking some of the most beautiful landscapes to film in.
