Wow. The fact that there are NO comments for this film is even more shocking than the film itself.
It’s a wonderful film, one of the greatest ever made in my opinion, along with his El Topo. The works of Jodorowsky, Tarkovsky and Bunuel should be on any aspiring cinephiles list.
Surprised again. Cool. I actually just finished watching it again. I never heard of Tarkovsky. Any films in particular?
My two favourite Tarkovsky, the Russian director’s films are his 1972 ‘Solaris’ (not the Hollywood remake) and his 1979 film ‘Stalker’. Both are on PW last time I looked. I assume they are hardcoded with English subtitles though I guess if not it’s easy enough to download and grab the subs from the opensubtitles site.
