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.
