Let’s watch “NOSTALGHIA” by A. Tarkovsky @ Siskel

Filmed in Italy while isolated from his native Russia, Andrei Tarkovsky’s NOSTALGHIA is a brooding, darkly poetic vision of exile. Russian researcher Andrei is working in Italy where he becomes obsessed with the Botticelli-like beauty of his translator Eugenia, as well as with the apocalyptic ramblings of a self-destructive wanderer named Domenico. Written with frequent Michelangelo Antonioni collaborator Tonino Guerra, NOSTALGHIA is a mystical collision of cultures, shot with a tactile beauty that only Tarkovsky can provide. THE LOCATIONS IN ITALY ARE REAL EVEN THOUGH THEY SEEM COMING FROM A DREAM, ESPECIALLY THE FINAL SCENE. IT’S A REAL, BREATHTAKING AND MAGICAL PLACE. THE TRAILER GIVES YOU A GOOD SENSE OF WHAT THE FILM IS ABOUT. IT IS A SLOW, VERY SLOW KIND OF FILM: CLICK HERE You can buy your ticket here I’ll meet you on the 2nd floor at 5.40.
