NOSTALGIA (15) 1983 ITALY TARKOVSKY, AMDREI IN ITALIAN £15.99
At a spa in the Tuscan Hills, a Russian poet and musicologist,
researching the life of an 18th century composer, meets a mysterious man
who is convinced that the end of the world is nigh. The Russian, Andrei
Gorchakov (Oleg Yankovsky), is asked to cross an ancient sulphur pool
carrying a lighted candle as an act of faith.
Tarkovsky’s first film outside the USSR is full of personal and
Christian symbols and works as a study of such themes as memory,
melancholia and disenchantment with the material world.
In Italian with English subtitles
