'Mirroring Tarkovsky' at BFI, October and November

Director 'Andrei Tarkovsky strove to transcend the limits of his subjects with each new film, thereby expanding our conception of film as art. Ivan’s Childhood remakes the war film into a child’s vision of play and revenge. Andrei Rublev reimagines the Russian history epic through an artist’s unblinking eyes. Solaris stretches science fiction into new realms of psychological disquiet. Mirror’s use of fractured time and vivid recall creates a unique and unforgettable memoir. Cold War conspiracy and paranoia can be found in the mind games of Stalker. An exiled writer’s despair gets tested by Italy’s beauty and mystery in Nostalgia, and The Sacrifice brings Tarkovsky’s belief in self-denial to a blazing conclusion. These films – shown in gorgeous new digital prints – are among the most imaginative, moving and powerful you are ever likely to see.' -Nick James, Sight & Sound Editor

Tarkovsky's films are being shown at the BFI throughout November.  Times and tickets here.
