Customer Reviews

1970-1986 last years of the Soviet Empire

Andrei Tarkovsky Diaries are real, 1st hand exprience from a talented writer and great cinematographer. He is giving reader a very real exprience from Russia in years 1970-1986. I wished I could read this book in it's original language when I felt it too close to my soul, and I wished pages never ended when I finished this book. Read it even if you are not a movie goer or watched none of his movies.

An Art book, writen by an artist.

Andrej Tarkovsky understood the truth of life, and dedicated his life to make us understand those important things. Mostly, in his films, but we shouldn't forget ¨Time Within time¨. To me, it's a guidebook to arts, and if you really want to understand what art is about, you shouldn't miss this book, no matter which art you're into. There's no better artbook, but a book written by an artist, and in this one, you'll not only find infomation on his screenplays, but his view and deep understanding on art.

This book stimulates the silent pace and rhythm of his work.

This is an excellent book that provides the non-experienced and experienced Tarkovsky viewer entry into the wonderful worlds in which he lived.

Tarkovsky

It's a grreat book with a lot of useful information for any Tarkovsky scholar. So basically I think that this book is fabulous and that I think that AT is highly underrated.Jim
