Tarkovsky's most intimate work is a layered collage of archival footage and memories of a dying poet, where dreams blend with scenes of childhood, war, and marriage.
Andrei Tarkovsky (1932-1986) was a Soviet film director whose seven features rank among the most celebrated works in cinema history. Films such as Andrei Rublev, Stalker and Mirror combined philosophical and spiritual themes with a distinctive visual language of long takes and dreamlike imagery. After years of conflict with Soviet censors, he left for the West in 1984 and completed his final two films - Nostalghia and The Sacrifice - in Italy and Sweden. He died in Paris in December 1986.
