In Reply to: Re: Tarkovsky _ What are the one I shoud get?_ Victor & Rhiz ? posted by patrickU on February 3, 2004 at 08:55:43:
A beautiful film, like no other...except, that is, for the other beautiful films which are like no other.Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, 8 1/2, The Sacrifice, Double Life of Veronique, 2 or 3 things I know about her (or Pierrot le Fou, or Weekend...)...in my opinion, the very best films all hit the same high note, which is not so much 'dreamlike' in some generic filmspeak way, but the literal stuff of dreams, the very feeling of inner life, with all its vagaries. That's mastery. The Sacrifice occupies this same high ground.
Fellini, Godard, Tarkovsky and Bunuel are perhaps unique among the great directors in how consistently and effortlessly they achieve that sense of dislocation, which is still so familiar. They're like the best novelists in that regard. All truly great art, at the apex, achieves the exact same end. What that end is, exactly, I can't quite pin down. But I know it when I see it.
Sorry for the tangent.
