Season on Andrei Tarkovsky - CLOSE UP

Just a quick reminder that our season on Andrei Tarkovsky will start on Tuesday 2 February. Close-Up will present his seven feature films from his debut Ivan’s Childhood to his final masterpiece The Sacrifice.


FILM PROGRAMME


CLOSE-UP ON ANDREI TARKOVSKY

Andrei Tarkovsky belongs to that handful of filmmakers (Dreyer, Bresson, Vigo, Tati) who, with a small, concentrated body of work, created a universe. Though he made only seven features, thwarted by Soviet censors and then by cancer, each honoured his ambition to crash through the surface of ordinary life and find a larger spiritual meaning: to heal modern art’s secular fragmentation by infusing it with metaphysical dimension. -- Phillip Lopate
