18KNostalghia: Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. With Oleg Yankovskiy, Erland Josephson, Domiziana Giordano, Patrizia Terreno. A Russian poet and his interpreter travel to Italy to research the life of an 18th-century composer.
“This is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. The main plot is about a Russian poet who comes to Italy to do some research on a composer. For those who love Action Thrillers: I have to say that this movie is probably not for you. This requires patience and a good deal of thinking. This isnu0026#39;t something you can watch with half your mind on what youu0026#39;re going to buy at the grocery store. What I love the most about this movie, is that you can see the characters thinking. What I find lacking in most movies, is the constant action, constant talking. In Nostalghia, you find yourself immersed in the characteru0026#39;s thoughts. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTarkovsky uses a great deal of visual metaphores as well; you have to pay close attention to what youu0026#39;re watching. It could turn out to be something completely different from what you thought it was to be.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all; this isnu0026#39;t something to be watched u0026quot;lightheartedlyu0026quot;. I recommend it to everyone. It truly is a work of art.”
