Instant Light: Tarkovsky Polaroids by Andrei Tarkovsky

5.0

A beautiful collection of Polaroid photographs (portraits and landscapes) taken in Russia and Italy in the late 1970s, early 1980s by the great Russian filmmaker. Many images suggest Tarkovsky's films -- especially Mirror and Nostalghia. All of them are beautiful in their own right. The quotations selected from Tarkovsky's artistic credo, Sculpting in Time, and his diaries (Time Within Time) work perfectly here to complement the Polaroids. The Introduction by Tonino Guerra, poet and Tarkovsky's friend and collaborator, is touching and insightful..
