Andrei Tarkovsky
Andrei Arsenyevich Tarkovsky (4 April 1932 – 29 December 1986) was a Russian filmmaker, writer, and film theorist.
He is widely considered one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema, and one of Russia's most influential filmmakers.
His films explored spiritual and metaphysical themes, and are noted for their slow pacing and long takes, dreamlike visual imagery, and preoccupation with nature and memory.
Tarkovsky studied film at Moscow's State Institute of Cinematography under filmmaker Mikhail Romm, and subsequently directed his first five feature films in the Soviet Union: "Ivan's Childhood" (1962), "Andrei Rublev" (1966), "Solaris" (1972), "Mirror" (1975), and "Stalker" (1979).
After years of creative conflict with Soviet authorities, Tarkovsky left the country in 1979 and made his final two films abroad; "Nostalghia" (1983) and "The Sacrifice" (1986) were produced in Italy and Sweden respectively.
In 1986, he also published a book about cinema and art entitled "Sculpting in Time".
He died of cancer later that year.
Tarkovsky was the recipient of several awards at the Cannes Film Festival throughout his career (including the FIPRESCI prize, the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury, and the Grand Prix Spécial du Jury) and winner of the Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival for his debut film "Ivan's Childhood".
In 1990, he was posthumously awarded the Soviet Union's prestigious Lenin Prize.
Three of his films—"Andrei RublevMirror", and "Stalker"—featured in "Sight & Sound"’s 2012 poll of the 50 greatest films of all time.
