Nostalgia and Stalker I could do without, and Sacrifice is just Bergman, not Tarkovsky. Beautiful, for sure, but not authentic.

That leaves what, 2 films of his? 3? Andrei and Solaris?
Why would you then want poor Patrick suffering through the whole Tarkovsky shebang?

  Poor Patrick is only sorry for himself and at the same time mad with him because he was not able to discover before his work. That did happen because he was too young to look at " Solaris "....

  Simply because of Tarkovsky's stature. One might like him or not, but he is one of significant directors.
  Not just two films, though. I would certainly include the Steamroller, Ivanovo Detstvo and of course the Mirror.
  As I said, he only made 8 significant films, so watching them all would not break anyone's bank, but would give a good perspective on the director's art.
  Who knows, Patrick might fall in love with Stalker - I know people who are crazy about it, so it would seem appropriate to take a look, given Patrick's taste palette.

    Naturally...
    Go for it, Patrick! At the end you will be given a "Film/DVD Asylum Executive Vice-President" t-shirt.

      First the " Mirror ".
      I must say that the version of W & P is still on my mind. A formidable work, with the big shadow of Tolstoi, a perfect match.
      Have you seen Liv Ullman " Faithless "?

        Sadly no. I have not seen Faithless, but if I come across it I'll pick it up.
        I'd be interested in reading what you say about Tarkovsky after you go the full cycle. If you last, that is...

        I MUST last ( Victor is watching too closely..) If you ever want to go down deeply on relations between man and woman, you MUST (x2 ) see Faithless.
        So strong.

      ...a pretty warm sweater for Nelly. Poor little doggie has to suffer in that horrible 20 degrees cold. That's Centigrade, man.
      Put some classy inscription on it. Something like "I Pooped on Film!"
      Patrick is being quite careless, BTW. He still has books and records on the bottom shelves, where the little cutie can certainly find them.
      Maybe she loves old collectabel vinyl.
