His films are considered Romanticist and are often described as "slow cinema", with the average shot-length in his final three films being over a minute (compared to seconds for most modern films).

There's not a great deal to say about There Will Be No Leave Today. It was another student film of Tarkovsky's that has since become well-known thanks to the director's more legendary, later films. It runs for about three-quarters of an hour, and follows a group of soldiers removing explosives from WW2 that have been discovered by road workers. In that way, it's sort of like The Hurt Locker, but much less dynamic and also made on a bare-bones budget. It's certainly interesting to watch and se...

While scouting locations for his 1983 film Nostalghia, Andrei Tarkovsky also directed this hour-long documentary - Voyage in Time- that serves, on the surface, as a making-of-documentary of sorts. It focuses on traveling to Italy for good places to shoot scenes, so in that way, doesn't exactly break down numerous elements of the film's production. What it does offer is plenty of conversations about cinema in general, and is at its best when it shows Tarkovsky talking enthusiastically about th...

Andrei Tarkovsky doesn't seem like the kind of filmmaker who'd make family movies, but The Steamroller and the Violindemonstrated that he could. It was his final student film, and he made it one year before directing his first feature. Quality-wise, it's almost at the level that he'd reach with his theatrically released movies. It only runs for about 45 minutes, and has a very simple premise involving a young boy who seems to do little but play the violin, until he meets and strikes up an une...

The Sacrifice ended up being the last film Tarkovsky ever directed, as he sadly passed away the same year it was released after being diagnosed with cancer following the film's production. The movie deals with one man struggling with religionand fears of an impending nuclear war, all the while struggling to connect with friends and family who have visited him for his birthday. Such themes are present in many films directed by Tarkovsky, and it's not surprising to watch The Sacrifice and feel...

Nostalghia is a film that feels quite unusual and hard to describe, even by Andrei Tarkovsky's standards. On the surface, it follows a man who goes to Italy to study a composer from the 18th century, though finds himself homesick and puzzled by some of the unusual interactions he has with people during his travels. It's a film that feels like it was deeply personal to Tarkovsky, which is probably the main thing. Open-minded viewers will be able to approach it on its own terms and hopefully in...
