Description During Books Sculpting in Time

An alternate cover edition can be found here.

Andrey Tarkovsky, the genius of modern Russian cinema--hailed by Ingmar Bergman as "the most important director of our time"--died an exile in Paris in December 1986. In Sculpting in Time, he has left his artistic testament, a remarkable revelation of both his life and work. Since Ivan's Childhood won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1962, the visionary quality and totally original and haunting imagery of Tarkovsky's films have captivated serious movie audiences all over the world, who see in his work a continuation of the great literary traditions of nineteenth-century Russia. Many critics have tried to interpret his intensely personal vision, but he himself always remained inaccessible.

In Sculpting in Time, Tarkovsky sets down his thoughts and his memories, revealing for the first time the original inspirations for his extraordinary films--Ivan's Childhood, Andrey Rublyov, Solaris, The Mirror, Stalker, Nostalgia, and The Sacrifice. He discusses their history and his methods of work, he explores the many problems of visual creativity, and he sets forth the deeply autobiographical content of part of his oeuvre--most fascinatingly in The Mirror and Nostalgia. The closing chapter on The Sacrifice, dictated in the last weeks of Tarkovsky's life, makes the book essential reading for those who already know or who are just discovering his magnificent work.

Crit About Books Sculpting in Time

I will expound developments I made while reading the great Russian director Andrei Tarkovskys poetic accounts, and they will collectively be an indirect review in the process... After reading Tarkovskys autobiography, I cant help but feel utterly overwhelmed, disturbed, and changed in some profound way. My own considerations and world views have been upturned. Parts of Sculpting in Time were so engrossing and beautifully told (even penetrating the sometimes overly literal translation of Kitty

"Tarkovsky for me is the greatest, the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream."These are the words of Ingmar Bergman, another very influential director. I count myself lucky to have watched these fellas' films, not only because they're pretty good but also they've got depth. With this masterpiece of Tarkovsky, I had the chance to access to the very mind of this genius.Sculpting In Time is fairly plain, just like his

The first Tarkovski's movie that I saw was his last one "the sacrifice". He died few time after in Paris. It is one of the most beautiful film ever made. It was turned in Féroé, the Bergman'isle with Nyqvist his director of the photograph and one of his prefered actor Erland Josephson.Nuclear war threatens. Man passes a pact with God. If his family is saved in the morning, he gives up speaking. After a night agitated his family is saved. He decides to pass for insane so respecting the pact. The

reading up prior to diving in (follow me on letterboxd)Actually phenomenal, though. Ive only seen ANDREI RUBLEV, which was so so good but kind of a beat down. This sort of re-piqued my interest in Tarkovskys stuff...hope to start watching again soon.

Andrei Tarkovsky has much in common with Dostoevsky in the sense that his movies move at a deliberate, slow pace with drawn out panning movements and long takes. They need extra effort from the viewer to appreciate them. His movies are much concerned with the "inner life" and the psychological truths of his characters.In this book he shares his ideas on filmmaking. Gives us an insight into the rules and methods that Tarkovsky set for himself in making his movies. Not a technical treatise but

The greatest director and very bad methodologist. He is the only one, there is no one like him and every one who tried to follow his method suffered different kinds of failure. I personally acquainted with people whose whole life collapsed under Tarkovsky's colossus. The scale of his talent and its main feature: ability to erect his own personal life experiences to the scale of something universal, attracts a lot of young filmmakers and they all end up destroying their own talent, just because

It's an influencial film language book. The concept and technique of film making is so brilliant. He's my ultimate film maker.
