Books by Andrei Tarkovsky

Andrei Tarkovsky (1932–1986) was a Soviet filmmaker widely regarded as one of the greatest directors of the twentieth century. His films include Andrei Rublev, Solaris, The Mirror, Stalker, Nostalghia, and The Sacrifice. He studied at the Soviet State Film School VGIK and directed seven features over two decades, each working through his philosophy of cinematic time and spiritual experience. He died of lung cancer in Paris at fifty-four, having spent his final years in exile from the Soviet Union. Sculpting in Time, assembled from lectures and writings, is his only extended statement of his artistic principles.
