Tarkovsky's movies are all cut from the same cloth. They share the same imagery, the same obsessions.
He loves rain. He especially likes it when it rains inside the house. I don't know what this means to him, but it's certainly dreamlike.
He keeps going back to the same countryside. The little farmhouses, the ponds, the wetlands, the horses browsing in the fields. I guess he's remembering his childhood home.
Isn't Natalya Bondarchuk wonderful? I fell in love with her when I first saw the movie back in the 70s. I find she's every bit as beautiful and moving as I remember.
I haven't seen the Clooney version. I'm not sure I could bear to. I'd be pining for Tarkovsky's vision (and for Natalya.)
Does Netflix carry any other Tarkovsky titles?
Andrei Rublev perhaps? Oh my, but that's another amazing film!
