--I forgot - did you see the Ark? What was your impression?I turned off the sound 10 minutes into it because the dialogue became unbearable to me, and finished watching it to the accompaniment of some piano music, save for the last scene in the grand ball-room.
--I don't know if Tark was his idol...
It's well-documented.
My take - No Tarkovsky -- No Sokurov.

Just watching the movie - I agree with you... hence my previous nasty reaction to it. A kaka rating, for sure.But I kept remembering clark's comment that to most people here that film would be their only chance to see the incredibly, unbound beauty of the great place - and alone made the admission worth its price.
No, I don't see Tark and Sokurov on the same plane... idol maybe, so what? Beethoven may by my idol - but what does it say about MY piano concertos?
--No, I don't see Tark and Sokurov on the same plane...... idol maybe, so what?I didn't say they were on the same plane. I said that some Tarkovsky and most Sokurov films suffer from insufficient editing.
Well, that is such a subjective thing - I would not argue about it.Tark's are longish, true, but I have to tell you I enjoyed the slow, deliberate flow of Solaris, every minute of it, and I was sorry when it was over. Stalker is a different matter, there I was totally restless. So perhaps a blanket comment is not the right thing to do.
Sacrifice didn't strike me as too long either. Too homage to the point of bordering on derivative - yes, but long? Not to me.
But I can understand why one might feel that way - they are not average films.
