| User ReviewRyan HRubbish. It's obvious that this man is not a filmmaker, nor does he seem passionate about filmmaking. He does love films, and he loves Tarkovsky. It never resonates on the screen. The entire time it felt like I was watching some college student's senior thesis project on a guy he loved. It was very amateur. Nothing opened my eyes about Tarkovsky. Yes, he will live forever in his films and with the people he knew. He was such a great filmmaker. But this idea of showing how he will never die and how it relates to his film could have been shown in a much more interesting way. What they said in the film could have been said about any other filmmaker. At the same time, Trakovsky thinks that he can be Tarkovsky in his shots, but really it's an insult to the people he is interviewing because he seems more distracted by the background. I can see how this would be great as a project to turn in, but a film to market around to people you don't know? No way in hell. |
