Like a Bunuel meditation on religion slowed to the glacial pace of a Bergman classic, here we have an hour-long masterclass on theatrical blocking before finally getting to a Faustian bargain. I understand the not-so-subtle allusions to spiritual people who were thought crazy, but I found it too difficult to reconcile the theme with what we see (and what is only hinted at) presented here.

Towards the end of existence, a feverish dream becomes reality. The human spirit still lacks certainty, "what have I devoted to? Whom am I devoted to?" Here, it's a beautiful gesture burning it all down to rediscover his faith. Tarkovsky is letting his son know (and us) that in the end, we'll face these same questions of sacrifice and rediscover what our lives really mean to us.

(of course, whothefuckami to rate tarkovsky's final film? it's a strange and mesmeric probing, and i suppose echoes/alludes to nietzsche's weird dreams, failings in love, and descent into madness)))))))

An unsuccessful Bergman homage. Continues the general allegory from Nostalghia with the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

I'm starting to come to the conclusion that Tarkovsky films are not my thing as I find his films to be completely over rating in every way. The imagery is amazing at times and the idea behind the story is pretty interesting but the character are dull and boring, the pace is way to slow and the dialogue is laughably bad. Also why did this have to be 2.5 hours long? there's only 30 minutes of actual story.

Religious discussions are a bit tough to get into but there's a lot of passages that strike me as very universal. As usual, the setpieces are nothing short of spectacular.

Top badass moment? A miserable old loser gets into the maid’s knickers, by telling her a sob story about ruining his mother’s garden. As a gardener myself, that’s a chat-up line I must try. The rest of the time he's like an annoying alcoholic in a pub, who randomly spouts boring and depressing philosophy to anyone who'll listen. Meanwhile, loud plane noises keep viewers awake, a dead tree is planted badly and a mosh pit develops on a zebra crossing. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

Tarkovsky and Nykvist's images and Josephson's acting are masterful, and the great Russian director's final film might just be his very best. The first 45 minutes of it is a thoroughly brilliant tribute to Ingmar Bergman's films. And then it gets weird ... so it will take some more viewings to extrapolate on what exactly the symbolic parts might mean.

How come fans of smart can get behind such awful and trite and manipulative writing? Sketchy. This is choke full with bold choices and stabs at profound issues, but there's no real intelligence behind them. So, there's cinematic interest in the camerawork, and a whole lot of tediousness and dialogue howlers.

I don't believe "lesser" Tarkovsky exists, just films of his that resonate more or less with individuals.
