Nostalgia

Prekladám do slovenčiny…

Andrei Tarkovsky’s unforgettably haunting film, his first to be made outside Russia, explores 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 Italian interpreter, Gorchakov is visited by memories of Russia and of his wife and children, and he encounters the local mystic who sets him a challenging task. ‘Nostalgia’ 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 films, nature, the elements of fire and water, music, painting and poetry all play a major role. ★★★★ “Hauntingly beautiful” - David Parkinson, Empire Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky Starring Oleg Yankovskiy, Erland Josephson, Domiziana Giordano 1983 · 125 min · cert 15 Screenings at Prince Charles…
