Where to start with him?
Where to start with him?
Leo Collins
Hudson Bailey
By spreading wide
Sebastian Anderson
From the beginning.
Colton Morales
huh?
Isaiah Cox
Whatever you do don't start with Mirror, far too much Sculpting in Time kinetics at once for a casual.
Ivan's Childhood or Andrei Rublev should be a good start
Josiah Sanders
Or Stalker.
The amount of busey he got in film school and wild parties with Kurosawa in Japan
Adrian Russell
Okay, thanks.
I saw that scene with the burning house a couple of times. I suppose that's the endboss. Not sure which movie that is.
Easton Nelson
His worst
Christian Baker
>mirror
>worst
James Powell
He's talking about Offret, dumbo
Benjamin Perez
I think both have burning houses.
Austin Reed
Yeah but offret has the more 'iconic' shot of an actual burning house, whereas in zerkalo it's a burning barn and it's more known for it's composition superimposing water and fire
So I think he was talking about Offret
Michael Peterson
Not him but the burning farm shot is literally literal kino. I wish I had the webm. Offret has the ending with the burning house but the house model shots were better.
Justin Garcia
start with rublev or stalker depending on whats your interest
David Gray
I'm not commenting on the quality of either shot
I'm just saying that he was probably talking about offret, and that offret is tarks worst film, and that's all
Bentley James
>Offret is tarks worst film
That would be Nostalghia. Only if you hate Bergman I could understand you.
Dylan Davis
>mfw Nostalghia is my favourite tark
It used to be my most disliked, but after I left my home country, I understood it
Owen Ross
What country did you leave?
Sebastian Robinson
Russia
John Martinez
That must be hard. I have only left my country to study in germany and I think I grew tired of europe if not disgusted by it. I always wanted to travel to russia though. I love russian poetry.
Jack Johnson
Offret is my favorite Tarkovsky closely followed by Stalker I suppose, don't hate me frens, pls. All of his movies are great tbqh though.
IMHO, OP, Ivan's Childhood is going to be an ideal introduction to Tarkovsky's filmography.
Gavin Clark
Where are you from, user?
Jordan Martin
I moved to Germany for my PhD and worked with Russians too.
In any case, he only has a few movies and you guys recommend basically all of them for a first (except Mirror)
David Stewart
>I saw that scene with the burning house a couple of times. I suppose that's the endboss. Not sure which movie that is.
The Sacrifice. aka Offret. Sven Nykvist was the cinematographer.
Austin Flores
México
Nathan Green
Ivan's Childhood or Solaris
Dylan Ross
Poland here. You must've had high expectations, no wonder you were disappointed, Europe has turned to shit and that won't change any time soon, maybe never.
