Tarkovsky and Bresson in Cannes (1983)

Rated Feb 25 2008 • 3 reviews • movies, video, tarkovsky, bresson, welles • youtube.com

If you read about Tarkovsky's films you may have run across a description of the 1983 Cannes Film Festival in which his film "Nostalghia" did not get the Golden Palm as he had hoped. His rather short acceptance speech was mentioned at the time.

Here you can see the interesting and very un-Oscar-like appearance on stage of Robert Bresson, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Orson Welles.

Solaris is a complex work that respects the audience's imagination and encourages personal readings. It works today as a riposte to the soulless technophilia of much science fiction, managing to be both intellectually provocative and emotionally affecting. Mysterious yet sensitive, it is also one of the most dream-like films I have ever seen and, consequently, one of my personal favorites. Solaris was realized by the important Russian director Andrei Tarkovksy, an expressive and artistically committed figure in world cinema. It's unfortunate but understandable that there are not many filmmakers of this kind in today's commercially-driven industry, and cinema's relevance as an art form suffers for it. But let's not be depressed. We can always revisit great films like Solaris, which indeed may be the greatest of all-time, the unmatched pinnacle of cinematic expression.
