{{quote|"Tarkovsky is for me 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."|''[[Ingmar Bergman]]'' }}
Line 12:
His films were controversial with Soviet authorities because Tarkovsky dared to ask these heavy questions instead of accepting dogma. This gave his films extra credentials outside the Soviet Union, especially in the West, whose film critics gave high praise to each of his films. But recognition at home would have to wait until after his 1986 death from cancer, which came just as Mikhail Gorbachev was opening the Soviet Union again. Tarkovsky was posthumously awarded the Lenin Prize in 1990, and the Russian government created the Andrei Tarkovsky Memorial Prize to award the country's most talented filmmakers.
Tarkosvky is one of the best-known Russian/Soviet directors, along with [[Sergei Bondarchuk]], [[Sergei Eisenstein]], [[Andrei Konchalovsky]], and [[Nikita Mikhalkov]], and his films have gained many awards.
* ''The Killers'' (1956) was Tarkovsky's first student film, based on the short story by [[Ernest Hemingway]].
* ''There Will Be No Leave Today'' (1959) was his second student film, about soldiers trying to protect a small town by disposing of unexploded bombs. It is the least typical film for Tarkovsky, resembling a patriotic war film, but was played on Victory Day for a few years afterward.
Line 58:
* [[Gainax Ending]]: Some of his movies seem to end in this way, like for example ''[[The Mirror]]'' and ''Nostalghia''. See also [[Mind Screw]].
* [[Genius Loci]]: Solaris (a planet or rather planetary intelligence) and the Zone (a strange, secluded wilderness). "The Zone wants to be respected. Otherwise it will punish."
* [[Go Mad
* [[Healing Factor]]: The projection of Hari can heal deep cuts from trying to break down a metal door and, after drinking liquid oxygen, painfully resurrects on the floor of the Solaris Station.
* [[Herr Doktor]]: Doctor Snaut in ''Solaris''.
Line 79:
* [[Production Posse]]: Tarkovsky's wife and father helped him in the production of his films. His father, Arseny, also wrote the poems read in ''The Mirror''. The actor Anatoly Solonitsyn, meanwhile, appeared in ''Andrei Rublev'' (as Andrei Rublev), ''Solaris'' (as Sartorius), ''The Mirror'' (as a doctor), and ''Stalker'' (as the Writer).
* [[Public Domain Soundtrack]]: Bach's "Ich ruf zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ" in ''Solaris'' is used as Hari's theme. Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" and Ravel's "Bolero" bookend ''Stalker''. Bach appears again, three times, in ''The Mirror''.
* [[Real Is Brown]]: Used as a metaphor in ''Stalker'', where the scenes outside the Zone are not only brown, but washed out.
* [[Rule of Symbolism]]: Stalker runs on religious imagery.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Nearly all his films, due to expert cinematography and direction, but standouts include the shots of the Zone in ''Stalker'', lovingly rendered in full color, and the vast landscapes of ''Andrei Rublev''.
Line 93:
** The Great Patriotic War.
** The Sino-Soviet Border War.
* [[Take That]]: Older Burton's film of his interrogation as a younger man in ''Solaris'' is a attack on [[
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Hari.
* [[The Oner]]: a regular feature of his films are very long one camera shots.
