Andrei Tarkovsky: Elements of Cinema

Andrei Tarkovsky: Elements of Cinema
- Used Book in Good Condition
The masters of Russian arts and letters are a prestigious fraternity that includes such renowned artists as Tolstoy, Rachmaninoff, and Shostakovich. But alongside these luminaries stands a lesser-known but equally revered figure, filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky. Robert Bird offers in Andrei Tarkovsky an unprecedented investigation of Tarkovskyâ‚¬s oeuvre and its far-reaching influence on world cinema.

Bird brings a novel approach to his dissection of Tarkovskyâ‚¬s wholly original techniques and sensibilities, arranging the films into elemental categories of Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. Solaris, Ivanâ‚¬s Childhood, Mirror, Nostalgia, Andrei Rublev, and Sacrifice all get their due here; through them, Bird explores how the filmmaker probed the elusive correlation between cinematic representation and a more primeval perception of the world. Though the book also considers Tarkovskyâ‚¬s work in radio, theatre, and operaâ‚¬"as well as his work as an actor, screenwriter, and film theoristâ‚¬"Bird throughout keeps his focus firmly on Tarkovsky as a consummate filmmaker.
Â
Anchored by a wealth of film stills and photographs, Andrei Tarkovsky is a must-read for all film buffs and admirers of European cinema.
