this is a very hard movie to sell to a contemporary audience. "well, it's a long, slow, black and white film in russian ... and the main character takes an oath of silence part way in."anyway you cast it for the remake, maybe you can have Andrei take an oath to show off his naked butt.

I have to admit, the thought of a remake has not entered my mind till now. Perhaps it should have... he-he...How about a remake with the twist? Andrei is........... a woman! Climing up the American corporate ladder.
BTW, reading the numerous reviews of that film on imdb is quite interesting in itself.
She´d surely be an impressive chaste, silent nun, searching for God and a meaning for her existence at every corner of every step in the corporate ladder...Or maybe Sandra Bullock?
You have plenty to choose from, man!
Directed by Steven Spielberg, and sound in Dolbyxxx, of course. While others would go for Woody Allen...
And now seriously, what do you think Almodóvar could do with that?

Push-up bras... if you knew the Russian women you would never ask that question!All your suggestions should be forwarded to Andrei himself, I am afraid. Almodovar? The film would benefit greatly from plenty of Almodovar-red, in few scenes, for sure. I mean - it is 1969, for pete's sake, who in his right mind would make a B&W film? But Tarkovsky is not your average guy, not even by the stale Soviet standards. In some way he reminds me - even in his appearance - one Russian artist I met in 1990 in Leningrad. He was producing the most amazing drawings using just the pencil. He woudl sit there all day long, his face with heavy glasses low above the piece of paper, endlessly sharpening his pencil and drawing the most incredibly images... I bought several of his works, still have them, they are unique in their rendition and the life he would bring to simple pencil lines. His drawings would look natural next to Tarkovsky's masterpiece. There's got to be something incredibly Russian in that austerity.
