RE: Tarkovsky--Boy, if you thought Bergman was boring

You may have started with the wrong film. Granted, all his films are slow, but "Stalker" wasn't just slow for me...I just didn't get into it. I've seen five of his films, and it was the only one I didn't like.

Mirror was almost as cryptic, but it worked for me on an emotional level, even if I didn't fully understand. It was visually awesome at times.

Try "The Sacrifice", filmed on Faro, with Sven Nykvist cinematography, so the most Bergman-like of his films. If it doesn't work for you, then it's probably time to throw in the towel!

I like films that make me work a little (or even a lot) but not if the work is futile.

Next week I'll be seeing "Ivan's Childhood" for the first time.
