I've just finished my first Tarkovsky, now what?

Probably should have started with Ivan's Childhood moron.

This board no longer values Tarkovsky. Discuss him elsewhere.

Watch some more of his films. I've only seen Stalker, but it's pretty great, and I'm planning on watching Solaris and The Mirror soon.

>>82498948
Yeah, I thought that while I was watching it.
I don't think I understood The Mirror at all.
It felt like what Villeneuve was trying and failed to do with Arrival.

>>82498849
Kill yourself cause it doesn't get any better than that.

>>82498948
This.

>>82499028
Did you find Stalker confusing at all? I downloaded while I watched The Mirror.

>>82498988
That should be Cuckbrick, he's the real hack.

>>82499538
Stalker is a lot more straightforward in its narrative compared to The Mirror. There still are some abstract themes and storytelling.

>>82499538
What specifically confused you about Stalker?

>>82500021
Nothing, I didn't watch it yet.

>>82499980
Good to know.

>>82498849
no one has elevated cinema as an art form as much as tarkovsky did.
FACT!

>>82498849
I hope you watched the new restored exceptionally good print that's available on youtube (yes on youtube, you still won't find a better one almost anywhere else, video quality is great and the 196kbps youtube audio is more than enough for this)

Watch some real cinema instead of this eastern european snoozefest-core

Why did you start with his most complex and personal film, you kurwa blyat atheist?

>>82503145
I watched a 1080p rip I got off of /r/megalinks.

>>82503202
What's "real cinema" then?

>>82503738
Someone said the movie was nostalgic and I didn't have a download link for Nostalghia.
Also, I forgot about Ivan's Childhood. I could've finished Solaris.

Classic Hollywood, French Poetic Realism, Golden Era Japanese cinema etc.

>>82498849
Go back to Ivan's Childhood and start from there. The Mirror is a very good movie but not a good starting point into Tarkovsky's work.

i really liked Stalker but Solaris did nothing for me and was difficult to get into. put me off watching more of his work, can someone rank his films in order of most to least accessible?

>>82503968
Yeah, I could watch some of that shit.
Does 400 Blows count as French Poetic Realism?
as for Golden Era Japan, I didn't really like Throne of Blood or Seven Samurai.

>>82504162
Haha no, french poetic realism is from the 30's.
400 blows is part of the french new-wave cinema of the early 60's.
They are very different stylistically as well.

>>82504334
okay gotcha.

>>82503903
I must admit that I viscerally hated Tarkovsky's "Nostalgia" and completely hated the use of Beethoven in it. I've seen it only once, but none of the Tarkovsky films that I have seen did I think are really good.

>>82503968
>Poetic Realism
Isn't that an oxymoron?

>>82505436
That's a shame, is there any specific reason why?
I don't think I understood The Mirror, but I thought it was good, I need to rewatch it a few times.

why?

>>82510565
that's the name of the movie

>>82510565
Because OP probably speaks English which has definite articles.

Britfriend?

>>82504162
French New Wave: Start with Breathless and 400 Blows
Japan: Try Late Spring (Ozu), Ikiru (Kurosawa), Harakiri (Kobayashi), and Sansho the Bailiff (Mizoguchi). Then go from there. Tokyo Story, Rashomon, Ugetsu, etc

>>82510919
I'm American.

>>82510962
I really hope I don't find Ozu boring, it seems that his movies are very slow and atmospheric.
I'm Generation Z, I don't have the best attention span.

I asked because there was a Tarkovsky season on our film channel here recently. I recorded them all but missed Stalker, dammit.

Should I continue with Tarkovsky or go with the other anon's advice, moving on to Japanese and French cinema?

>>82512475
Do whatever the fuck you want

>>82513089
Not a very helpful answer.

*farts in your mouth*

is the tartovsky meme perpetuated by the russian hackers from /pol/

>>82513693
Of course not, the only movies Russians watch that were made in their country is the porn
