Summary: The Russian poet Gortchakov, accompanied by guide and translator Eugenia, is traveling through Italy researching the life of an 18th century Russian composer. In a ancient spa town, he meets the lunatic Domenico, who years earlier had imprisoned his own family in a barn to save them from the evils of the world. As Eugenia seeks to tempt Gortchakov into infidelity, he, seeing some deep truth in Domenico's act, becomes drawn to the lunatic.

Undeniably very slow; equally undeniably the film contains scene after scene of some of the most remarkable imagery cinema has created, imagery that seems in some cases drawn directly from the unconscious and extending beyond any terrestrial realm. The theological message of this film, like that of "The Sacrifice," may be open to interpretation but it also seems, to me at least, somewhat questionable. Nevertheless, despite this, and despite the pace, it definitely develops a certain power.

Tarkovksy, more than any other director, hits me on a deeply personal level, and for that reason I recognize that I can't be too objective when considering some of his films. This is one of those films. It may have problems, but I just can't tell. It tears me apart.

A film that didn't cause a sense of detachment or boredom, probably the reason why Tarkosvky himself found his film "tedious". The spellbinding imagery and themes don't distract from the narrative. Although I haven't deciphered everything, this is without a doubt one of Tarkovsky's best films and definitely worth revisiting.

"Nostalghia" looks gorgeous (especially the sepia-toned segments) and it feels as it must be absolutely important, although, frankly, I can't really find a way to connect with it. There are some stunning shots, an impressive cremation scene towards the ending and some semi-interesting babbling about abstract matters. The film's look and feel is appealing, but its content seems facile and alienating, and that's what Tarkovsky struggles to distract us from through the brilliance of his technique.

Slow even for a Tarkovsky film. This is the first of his films that I've actually struggled to get though. It didn't feel like it had an underlying theme throughout the film in the way that his other films do, and though there is some interesting dialogue, it never feels incredibly cohesive. The imagery is absolutely amazing, though, as it always is with Tarkovsky. I'm just going to have to give this one another viewing to understand it a bit more.

Difficult to say too much about this from just one viewing except that it has the usual stunning imagery and tableaux that characterise Tarkovksy's best work.

This film is really the height of pretension. It picks the very loftiest of themes: God, sex, nationality, art, what have you, and then simply babbles about them nonsensically with excruciatingly slow camera movement so that they seem like they have meaning. The dialogue is atrocious, the actors are just statues, and the film makes no statement at all, it simply throws an idea out and then moves on without comment. It has some shots that could be brilliant if they had discernible meaning.

Perhaps the most accessible of Tarkovsky's movies, Nostalghia treats us to a more character-driven film while still indulging the same artistic beauty and theologically riveting themes behind the storytelling. There is not a doubt in my mind that Tarkovsky is a genius, and he is one of the only directors capable of creating such atmospheric and remarkable movies. I can't really express how much I love this movie, just know that you should see it and that it's one of Tarkovsky's best.
