Andrei Tarkovsky

I watched Stalker on a complete whim a few days ago and now there are constantly Tarkovsky-related threads on Yea Forums
Was it always like this? Is it the work of the Zone?

No

People like this are so unable to comprehend of why other people feel so strongly about a certain film so their defense mechanism fires up calling everyone else dumb in order to feel justified, trying to convince themselves that literally everyone is merely pretending to enjoy it just so they feel a tiny bit better about themselves as they further dwelve in their own delusion.

You can see the same thing happening in nearly any 2001 thread

It's not just on Yea Forums, it's a tactic that is ubiquitous in online debate. Literally invalidating the other person's perception rather than addressing their perspective.

There are many threads about Tarkovsky on Yea Forums.

Are Nostalghia and The Sacrifice any good? I have heard mixed things about them.

The Sacrifice is a good film. Nostalghia is fine but can be pretty meh in the last act.

Alright, thanks. I hope they will be better than Solaris. I love Andrei Rublev, Stalker and Mirror.

Based. I'll be honest, I was that deeply impacted by Once Upon a Time in America. I didn't go away going 'wow'. But I don't have to shit on those that regard it a masterpiece. I just personally didn't have it resonant with me emotionally much despite all the impressive technical stuff. A part of that were my expectations. It was hyped the definitive gangster film so I was expecting a more detailed rise and fall arc as seen in Godfather or Goodfellas. It was a breezy 4 hours though. Seriously only felt like two or so had passed.

*wasn't

he's really good. I like mirror best

That movie was boring and kinda all over the place but it was well shot. I like Stalker

The internet is always subtly suggesting things, not always consciously. I watched Stalker for the first time a few days ago too.

agree, i feel the same way about bela tarr films

The Sacrifice and Andrei Rublev are his best.

>greatest
>overrated
Why do we always have to go to extremes?
Sometimes I feel that people who call Tarkovsky a hack are people who tried watching Stalker but can't get through 5 minutes without getting sleepy or bored.
I've watched Stalker, Nostalghia and Solyaris and I can definitely say Tarkovsky isn't a hack.

I can't believe he lost or screwed up the Stalker tapes and they had to re-shoot the whole movie a second time

The final scene of Nostalghia is one of the best things Tarkovsky ever made.

Isn't communism supposed to shut down art? How did the soviets still manage to produce so much kino?

National pride. Russians made War & Peace just because they were butthurt that the US made one.
The end result of that butthurt made their version of War & Peace the best version there is.

The soviet government halted the production of nearly every Tark film ever. Here’s an interview with his son
>"Apart from that, my father had to fight for at least three years for each and every project, which was just dead time. This was a real pity as he was working day and night. He had to shelve a lot of projects just because he wasn’t allowed to work at his own pace. Few people know that he wasn’t a “reflective” or “slow” director. He could have actually made one film every year."
