as to Tarkovsky...

Re-reading his diary and it is frustrating that the volume covers only from 1970 onwards... do other versions contain earlier years - are these documented at all? Ivan's Childhood and so forth?

The diary always casts a spell - just reading about Stalker would be intense enough - though balanced (for Tarkovsky) by what he describes as 'enshrining the ( Read more... )
