Summary:

In this book, Sean Martin considers the whole of Tarkovsky's oeuvre, from the classic student film 'The Steamroller and the Violin', across the full-length films, to the later stage works and Tarkovsky's writings, paintings and photographs. Andrei Tarkovsky is the most celebrated Russian film maker since Eisenstein and one of the most important directors to have emerged during the 1960's and 1970's. Although he made only seven feature films, each one was a major landmark in cinema, the most well-known being the medieval epic Andrei Rublev. In this book, Sean Martin considers the whole of Tarkovsky's oeuvre, seeking to demystify Tarkovsky as a 'difficult' director whilst celebrating his radical aesthetic of long takes and tracking shots.
