Topic: Arseny Tarkovsky


  
  Andrei Tarkovsky
Tarkovsky, son of the prominent poet Arseny Tarkovsky, was a product of the golden era of Soviet arts education.
However, Tarkovsky's principal complaint about his treatment by the authorities was that he had many more ideas in him than he was allowed to bring to the screen, and in 1984, after shooting Nostalghia in Italy, he decided not to return to Russia.
Andrei Tarkovsky was buried in a graveyard for Russian émigrés in the town ofSainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, Île-de-France, France.

  Pocket Essentials Guide to Andrei Tarkovsky Main Page
Tarkovsky's films are slow, dreamlike searches for faith and redemption, and it comes as no surprise to learn that, during his years in the Soviet Union, he was often criticised for 'mysticism' and his continued failure to tackle subjects in a style more acceptable to socialist realism.
Tarkovsky claimed that his mother groomed him from childhood to be an artist, making sure that he was exposed to art and literature from an early age (though given both Arseny's and Maria Ivanovna's literary predilections, it would have been difficult for the young Tarkovsky to have avoided books and works of art).
Tarkovsky seems to have resented his mother's attempts to foster in him a sense that he was an artist-in-waiting, as a result rebelling by hanging out with kids his mother didn't approve of, playing football and acting tough.

 Tarkovsky   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Andrei Tarkovsky was born on 4 April 1932 in Savrashye on the Volga, the son of Arseny Tarkovsky, a poet whose works met with considerable acclaim in later years, and Maya Ivanovna Vishnyakova.
Tarkovsky denied the apparent parallels between his own youth and that of Ivan, remarking that the only things they had in common were their age and the circumstances of war.
It continues Tarkovsky's search for the roots of life and belief in modern society and is filled with those allegories and visual icons, shifts of time, person and place that one increasingly came to associate with this director.

Tarkovsky the film director never made it a point to be understandable to everyone.
Tarkovsky believed the mass character of a work of art to be the first symptom of falsehood and the choice of a wrong path.

 Tarkovsky at Film-North
Tarkovsky, who died in exile in 1986, was considered by some Western film critics to be one of Russia's foremost latter-day filmmakers.
But Tarkovsky, who regards their journey as a contemporary spiritual quest, does such remarkable things with his mise en scene--particularly very slow and elaborately choreographed camera movements--that you may be mesmerized nonetheless.
Tarkovsky: Juxtaposing a person with an environment that is boundless, collating him with a countless number of people passing by close to him and far away, relating a person to the whole world, that is the meaning of cinema.

 'Best of World Cinema' UK DVDs - Mirror [1974]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Tarkovsky's memories as well as those of his mother are intermingled as a dark, sumptuous, and dreamlike pre-World War II Russia is evoked, accompanied throughout by the voice of Tarkovsky's father reading his own elegiac poetry.
As the timeline shifts between the narrator's generation and his mother's, newsreel footage of Russian wars, triumphs, and disasters are juxtaposed with imagined scenes from the past, present, and future, crafting a silently lucid cinematic panopticon of memory, history, and nature.
Tarkovsky's films are accessible to everyone (maybe he was a real communist!), not just aloof art house enthusiasts.

 Ivan's Childhood - Andrei Tarkovsky
Moving back and forth between the traumatic realities of WWII and the serene moments of family life before the conflict began, Tarkovsky’s film remains one of the most jarring and unforgettable depictions of the impact of violence on children in wartime.
Andrei Tarkovsky presents an austere, bleak and haunting portrait of lost innocence in Ivan's Childhood.
Nevertheless, within the daylight sequences, Tarkovsky continues to reinforce a pervasive sense of entrapment and helplessness: the spider web on the opening shot; Ivan bathing in the well; Kholin's stolen kiss from Masha while straddling a trench.

 kamera.co.uk - feature article - Feature - Director's cult: Andrei Tarkovsky by Antonio Pasolini
Although Tarkovsky's reputation continues to grow, especially in North America, where initial critical reaction was decidedly cooler than in Europe, his genius was recognised within his own lifetime by Jean-Paul Sartre, who championed Tarkovsky's first feature, Ivan's Childhood, and Ingmar Bergman.
This even included acting; Tarkovsky's fellow student and friend, Alexander Gordon, remembers him giving a superb performance as the aging Prince Bolkonsky when Romm got the students to perform scenes from War and Peace during their third year at VGIK.
The two men would not work together again, and Tarkovsky asked Georgy Rerberg to shoot his next feature, the autobiographical Mirror.
