About this Item
Description:
First US edition, hardcover, has a strong skew to the binding, bumps to the spine ends and cover corners, light sunning to the spine, a touch of soiling to the head of the text block, and age toning to the page edges. Overall, this is a solid, Near Very Good copy in an unclipped, Very Good dust jacket, which has bumps with light creasing to the spine ends and corners, toning to the spine and edges, rubbing with minor smudges to the covers, and mild shelf wear to the edges. The jacket is wrapped in Mylar, and additional images are available by request. Seller Inventory # 211565
Synopsis:
A director reveals the original inspirations for his films, their history, his methods of work and problems of visual creativity, and the autobiographical content of such films as "Mirror" and "Nostalgia"
Reviews:
Tarkovsky, who died in exile in 1986, was considered by some Western film critics to be one of Russia's foremost latter-day filmmakers. His image-rich nonlinear style was apparently little understood or appreciated in his own country and his films received poor distribution. Tarkovsky elaborates in much detail on his theory of filmmaking, including editing, music, film acting, and what he calls "rhythm," which he considers the dominant factor. The translation appears to be excellent, but the book would have benefited greatly from an introductory essay setting the director's aesthetics and career in perspective. An important addition for large cinema collections. Roy Liebman, California State Univ. Lib., Los Angeles
