I got out "Voyages in Time" a documentary about Andrei Tarkovsky, to be honest i was kind of expecting to be bored by this film. I thought it might be a bit pretenti
ous.So why did i get it out. Mainly I liked the cover. It is actually quite a beautiful short film. You have to be patient, its definitely not everyones cup of tea.
Lots of long takes of landscape shots. Tarkovsky talks about making films, and directors he's interested in; it is filmed whilst he is travelling around Italy, looking for locations for his film Nostalghia. It seems to become a layering of places, the landscape as a potential set for a movie, the landscape of this documentary, and the landscape described by Tarkovsky. The sound was overlapping some images. I enjoyed the intersections of close ups. I havent seen any of his other films yet (although this was of him, not by him). I want to watch it again, so i will follow this up again later.
