Nostalgia - Film May 19, 2009

Nostalgia - Film (1983). Director: A. Tarkovsky. Tarkovsky's unforgettably haunting film, his ffirst to be made outside Russia, explored the melancholy of the expatriate through the film's protagonist, Gorchakov, a Russian poet researching in Italy. Arriving at a Tuscan village spa with Eugenia, his beautiful interpreter, Gorchakv is visited by memories of Russia and of his wife and children, and he encounters the local mystic, who sets him a challenging task. The film is filled with a series of mysterious and extraordinary images, all of which coalesce into a miraculous whole in the film's final shot. As in all Tarkovsky's film nature, the elements of fire and water, music, painting and poetry all play a major role. As part of Russian Cine Experience - Film Festival.
