Los haikus y los tanka japoneses cultivan sus imágenes de un modo que en última instancia pierden su significado final. Fuera de sí no expresan nada y a la vez significan tanto que, recorrido el largo camino de la comprensión de su esencia, uno se da cuenta de que es imposible percibir su sentido último. En otras palabras, una imagen se acerca más a su objeto cuanto más difícil resulta tratar de condensarla en cualquier fórmula conceptual o especulativa.

—Andréi Tarkovski, «La imagen de la vida» en Atrapad la vida. Lecciones de cine para escultores del tiempo. Traducción de Marta Rebón y Ferrán Mateo.

Stalker Monologue (Tarkovsky, 1979)

Let everything that’s been planned come true.  Let them believe.  And let them have a laugh at their passions.  Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, but just the friction between their souls and the outside world.  And most important, let them believe in themselves.  Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing.  When man is born he is weak and malleable.  When he dies he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it’s tender and pliant, but when it’s dry and hard, it dies.  Hardness and strength are death’s companions.  Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being, because what has hardened will never win

#love , LOVE, LOVE THIS TRULY #transcendent #film (which I just watched on @mubi !...by my good #friend #skinnermyers ...whose film doesn’t shy away from addressing #challenging subject matter, chipping away at the #ridiculous claim that “#race” doesn’t matter in contemporary America...undeniably #essential in jolting everyone out of the collective #complacency induced by the false perception of progress for all in this country...Though often #abstract in its imagery, the film's #blistering commentary remains firmly rooted in our present reality...its #gorgeous imagery reminded me of @kogonada , while its #magicalrealism reminded me of #tarkovsky , and its thematic wrestling with the desperation to #belong reminded me of this #memoir I've been working on for the past 8 years...It all plays out with a fumbling #intentionality , where the #disunity of the aesthetic whole very perfectly reflects the #schism of our character and, assuming that our protagonist acts as an analogue to its performer, our director himself... it’s like an indie #fallingdown with a sensibility that modernizes the self-examining monologue of #ralphellison ’s #invisibleman ...effectively presents the issues so that the collective, global "we" must stop, ask #questions , and wrestle with a very #complicated problem...suggests that we are all #corruptible by a white man in a high tower but ends with a slightly more #human slant and a #reminder that all #actions come with #consequences ...@thesleepingnegrofilm https://mubi.com/films/the-sleeping-negro

Mirror 1975

Kendinizi , kendinizle zaman geçirmeyi yalnızlık sanmayacağınız şekilde yetiştirin diyen Tarkovski haklıydı. İnsan kendiyle vakit geçirmeyi sevdiğinde ,eğlenceyi sadece kalabalıklarda aramadığında çok şey keşfedebiliyordu.

Stalker (1979)

Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky

Cinematography by Alexander Knyazhinsky

The dichotomy between the Andrei (his name is a subtle nod to Andrey Rublev by Takovsky in 1966) and Goncharov is such a masterful portrayal of a unique dialectical relationship between free will and determinism

Truly one of the movies of all time! Bravo Martin!

1. Offret (Tarkovski, 1986): un árbol seco que es metódica y religiosamente regado. 2. Re granchio (Rigo de Righi y Zoppis, 2021): un árbol deformado que es ignorado en la búsqueda del oro. 3. Jungfrukällan (Bergman, 1960): un árbol joven que es empujado por el protagonista. 4. Topio stin omichli (Angelopoulos, 1988): un árbol onírico al que se acercan y abrazan los personajes principales. 5. Nymphomaniac (Trier, 2013): un árbol, también deformado, en un momento del viaje introspectivo de la protagonista.
