Nostalgia, GFT, Sunday 26 June, 2016
Tarkovsky’s first film to be made outside Russia.
Sunday 26 June (19.20)
Running time: 2h
Tarkovsky’s first film to be made outside Russia explores the experiences of Andrei Gorchakov, an expatriate Russian poet in Italy. Arriving at a Tuscan village spa accompanied by Eugenia, his beautiful Italian interpreter, Gorchakov is beset by homesickness and recalls memories of Russia and his wife and children. While walking through the countryside he encounters a doom-saying local mystic, who sets him a challenging task. Nostalgia is filled with a series of mysterious images, all of which come together in the film’s astonishing final shot.
Specially commissioned programme notes will be available for this season.
Director Andrei Tarkovsky Cast Oleg Yankovsky, Erland Josephson, Domiziana Giordano, Italy 1983, 2h, subtitles, 12A – scene of self-immolation, brief nudity
One of the world’s most visionary, celebrated and influential filmmakers, Andrei Tarkovsky made just seven features before his tragically early death at the age of 54. Characterised by metaphysical and spiritual explorations of the human condition, each film is an artistic masterpiece of extraordinary visual beauty and they all stand as enduring classics of world cinema. Screening from pristine new digital prints, the Russian auteur’s seven features will be showing at GFT every Sunday evening from 22 May to 3 July.
