{{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."
{{quote| "Perhaps the meaning of all human activity lies in artistic consciousness, in the pointless and selfless creative act? Perhaps our capacity to create is evidence that we ourselves were created in the image and likeness of God?"
Andrei Arsenevich Tarkovsky (1932–1986) was a Soviet film director, writer, and theorist. His family had a literary background, and he studied art, music and language at school. But during the [[Great Patriotic War]], his father was drafted and Andrei, his mother, and his sisters had to evacuate. He caught tuberculosis and recovered in a hospital. He dropped out of university and decided to become a prospector. He was sent to Siberia and, in the wilderness there, discovered film.
Line 57 ⟶ 55:
* [[Failed a Spot Check]]: One of the soldiers trying to prevent people from approaching the Zone sees Stalker's car, but does not think that Stalker is hiding under the car.
* [[Fan Service]]: Alexei's mother in ''The Mirror'' takes a shower in full view of the camera, and in ''Solaris'' Hari's nipples poke through her shirt when she resurrects after taking the liquid oxygen.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: The critical reception of ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey (Film)|2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' may have factored into the creation of ''Solaris'' and ''Stalker'', similar meditative sci-fi films.
* [[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."
