![]() ![]() This was the last book I read last year, and I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while (you know it if you’ve been following my latest posts), and finally I am doing it. It is a very spiritual book and it offers great insight into one of the most beautifully artistic minds in the history of cinema, and probably the history of mankind as a whole. During his final days he wrote a book called “Sculpting in Time”, where he reflected and described his thoughts and processes regarding filmmaking, art in general and even life itself. He directed seven films in his career, five of which in his native Soviet Union, the last two being shot in Italy and Sweden in exile. Bergman himself, probably the only other director with a claim to that title, once said: “Tarkovsky for me is the greatest, the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream.” To receive such praise from Bergman is nothing to be shrugged off. Personally he is my favourite director of all time and is without a doubt the greatest to ever walk this earth. ![]() Andrey Arsenovich Tarkovsky, born on 1932 and died on 1986, is widely regarded as one of the best filmmakers in history. ![]()
