This summer, I will be in Paris for a few days. I understand that Tarkovsky's grave is somewhere in Paris. Does anyone know *exactly* where it is located? I'm not familiar with the city at all, so I would need fairly specific directions. I would like to visit the grave not out of morbid curiousity, but in order to pay homage to his genius. Thanks in advance! |

fisher Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: lakeland, florida Time: 1997-03-25 09:38:00 Comments: in the opinion of this film lover and "buff" andrei tarkovsky is not only the greatest filmmaker yet to live, he is also one of the most important artists of this century ranking up there with Picasso, Joyce, Faulkner, Beckett, Camus, Gershwin, Frank lloyd Wright, Dali, etc. Tarkovsky is such a personal and poetic artist that his films are so soft, smooth, and infinitely fascinating. watching his work is an experience that captivates the viewer and brings him/her into his world whether its on a spaceship, an island, or 15th century russia. the day he died was a day of great loss to the world of film art. |

Yahoo, Alta Vista, click, click, drag, drag, whirrrr... (that's the hard drive spinning), beeeep, there it is: ZERKALO/STAKLER (VOL 4) TOEI $41.95 Is this expensive or what? I called the place (http://www.footlight.com) and they say it's a Japanese special edition import (hence the price) and their distributor has been out of it for months although it doesn't seem to be out of print. |

E. Rodriguez Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: Origanily Cuba, but later resident of the US. Time: 1997-03-18 23:02:00 Comments: For anyone intersested: there is a modern classical CD compilation of different composers works dedicated to Tarkovsky, they are not soundtrack pieces but rather 'musical memorials'; the CD is entitled 'Hommage a Andrei Tarkovsky' (437 840-2;cd), it's on the Deutsche Grammophone label; There were also three essays on Tarkovsky in the January 1997 issue of Sight and Sound, the film magazine from London. My own fascination with this directors works began in a small bar in Hoboken, New Jersey. The bar would screen movies in the back every Tuesday night, on this particular night they were about to show Nostalgia. A small group of people and myself all sat in foldout chairs (very uncomfortable) and experienced Tarkovsky while in the adjoining room people drunkenly conversed at the top of their lungs. It was a very defining moment for me, I could not help but think that whoever created what I was watching was a genius. Andrei Tarkovsky, wherever you are, thank you. |

They are released under the label ARTIFICIAL EYE and are part of the CONNOISSEUR catalouge. Here is their address: CONNOISSEUR VIDEO LTD 10A STEPHEN MEWS LONDON W1P 0AX PH. 0171 957 8957 . Hope this will help! I think only ANDREI RUBLOV and SOLARIS are in WIDESCREEN though, a pity! They're about 16 pounds each. They also have other great hard-to-get directors on their list as well, like ALAIN RESNAIS, PASOLINI, early GREENAWAY etc. . Does anyone know of other distibutors that may have all the films in WIDESCREEN? Why aren't all movies sold in WIDESCREEN? If someone knows tell me please! They all should be released on video in this format, especially the likes of TARKOVSKY,GREENAWAY and RESNAIS!, that way you get the FULL film as it was intended, and there is so much information packed into GREENAWAY's films that you are surely missing out on something! And doesn't PAN AND SCAN look horrible!!!, especially in THE COOK THE THEIF... and BONDACHUK's WAR AND PEACE! . Hope that I was helpful Bye, ARCHIE. |

I saw ANDREI RUBLIOV but the best I've seen in my life is NOSTALGHIA. And I'm lucky, because I live just 20 km far from the place (Bagno Vignoni) in which there is the big pool of hot water. It's a wonderful place... I saw also the picture of a pregnant woman that we can see at the beginning of NOSTALGHIA: it's Piero della Francesca's "Madonna del Parto", one of the most important works among Italian painture. Finally, I went also in the wonderful no-roof church of the film: it's the "Abbazia di S.Galgano", near Siena. And it's really like we can see in NOSTALGHIA. Maybe I could meet Andrej making this film!!! |

ostrowski Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: canada/us Time: 1997-03-05 10:28:00 Comments: someone asked about the chorale prelude in solaris. I believe its BWV 639. There are many recordings of this, but an excellent is by Peter Hurford, a British Organist, who has recorded all of Bach's organ works. This one is in volume 6. Actually, AT obviously had a deep appreciation for Bach as St. Mats passion is in the sacrifice and another chorale prelude is found in Mirror. Great to see so many people interested is such stuff, as locally most people don't even know who AT was. |

Time: 1997-02-26 21:42:00 Comments: The first film I saw was Sacrifice, and for the first time, I felt that I was viewing something that was of myself. I had to extract myself from the piece in order to view it as a work of art (like I do with other films). By the end I was mezmerized, but not consciously so. I had been drawn into myself so deeply, that "I" didn't exist anymore; I've had the same experience with Wim Wender's "Wings of Desire", I would recommend Wim's films to all who read this. |

Baker Website: Referred by: Net Search From: New York, NY Time: 1997-02-26 08:50:00 Comments: I don’t think the "being" in Solaris is non-human or alien. I see it as an aspect of life, and a big part of this aspect is the seductive nature of fantasy and wish-fulfillment. But the escapist pull of Solaris seduces people into an area of moral weakness. "Be careful what you ask for, you might get it". Solaris has a lot in common with the Zone in "Stalker" in the way it taps into subconscious desires and reveals man’s true moral nature, something most people don’t have the strength to confront. To quote T.S. Eliot, "Humankind cannot bear too much reality". I find "Solaris" to be Tarkovsky’s most pessimistic film - Andrei Rublev, the narrator in "Mirror", the Stalker, Gorchakov, Alexander, even Ivan all struggle against the temptation to just give up in the face of life’s horrors, and Kelvin is the only one who seems to succumb to the desire to hide from harsh reality in the oblivion of memory, and as a result loses his soul. |

I have heard that the general consensus is that Andrei Rublyov is his greatest film: does anyone dispute this? (I have not seen it myself). There are two things I would like to know regarding his films: 1) What is the BWV number of Bach's Chorale Predule in F Minor (the theme in Solaris) 2) Does anyone know anything about the poet Arseny Tarkovsky? (A poem of his was read in Stalker) I would like to hear from anyone interested in discussing Tarkovsky in general! JM |

I only can remember that it left dark and disturbing impression. A few years the same film hit me again, and only then I understood the perfectness of Tarkovsky's direction and ... well, what words can say? Since now, when I've seen all of Tarkovsky's films several times, "Stalker" is still one of the most conjuring. |

I agree with the comments that his films can only truly be appreciated on the big screen. Something happens to the films when they are put on video; I guess they get too dark, and thus one misses his profound subtlety. The very first Tarkovsky film I saw was the Sacrifice, on video yet! Although I couldn't make out a lot of the film because of way he filmed it ( in such subdued light) , it was an epiphany for me, as he really showed how a film can truly be a work of art. Ever since then, like everyone else on this page, I've voraciously eaten up everything Tarkovsky did ( including the "Steamroller and the violin") and wrote. I guess a current contemporary of his, who is doing similar astonishing work is Sakharov ( I think that's how its spelled). I've only seen two of this director's films and both of them left me mesmerized. Anyone else seen his stuff? Does anyone know who to get a hold of his video's if any are available etc etc. Nice talking to all of you. Its rare to meet people who appreciate Tarkovsky ( if you know what I mean). |

About 2 years ago, I saw a new print of Solaris so one must be "out there". It is fitting that his films sell out whenever they play in San Francisco.

Baker Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: New York City Time: 1997-02-13 08:53:00 Comments: Thanks for making the guestbook, Michael! I am in the middle of the Tarkovsky retrospective at the Anthology Film Archives here in NYC - I'll be seeing all of his full-length films in the space of eight days. Although I have seen all his films before, some several times, I continue to be astonished by the power and subtlety of his art. Seeing them all in such a short space of time is a fascinating experience - I found the artistic shift between "Mirror" and "Stalker" particularly fascinating. I would recommend this experience to any serious Tarkovksy fan. One problem, however, is the quality of the prints on show. The US distributor of "Mirror" and "Solaris" told me that the scratched, spliced, jumpy celluloid that the Anthology was using was the best available - apparently there are problems with getting new prints from the negatives in Russia. My Kino contact also told me that the owner of the rights to "Nostalgia", an Italian gentleman, is not very interested in making new prints available for theatrical screenings (he's only interested in video). I for one think Tarkovksy more than any other filmmaker MUST be seen on the big screen to be fully appreciated, and am dismayed at this news. My ulterior motive is to get a first-class cinema in New York to do a retrospective with new prints, and if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can lobby for this, I'd love to hear them. One thing Kino told me is that Artificial Eye in London is planning to make new prints with English subtitles, but had no comment on whether these could be used for US screenings. I've written to Richard Pena at the Film Society of Lincoln Center suggesting that he do a Tarkovsky retrospective with new prints, and would be delighted if any of you would care to do the same. |
