The cinematic universe of Andrei Tarkovsky

" The Films of Andrei Tarkovsky "
At the Boston Museum of Fine Arts February 27 through March 16.

In Andrei Tarkovskyâ€™s Stalker, itâ€™s said that the mysterious Zone that the protagonists explore is in a constant state of change. Tarkovskyâ€™s cinematic universe is in the same condition. Film, for him, is a way of imprinting change. He is concerned with processes: fire, water flowing, the sun rising behind a farmhouse (in an incredible shot in Nostalghia), microcosms that are decaying but not dead (since matter is constantly being stirred by breezes or by the impulses that cause water to flow, and since out of the decay, life will come).
