Tarkovsky and His Films

Kumar Vimlendu Singh, a devoted scholar of cinema, appears to seek an understanding of the very reason behind Tarkovsky’s immortality. Tarkovsky did not learn cinema merely as a technique but absorbed it as an art form and a way of life. With practical examples, Vimlendu discusses Tarkovsky’s seven feature films in such a way that the technical aspects-like cinematic imagery, editing, screenplay, acting, and music-become so comprehensible that the entire mystique of his cinema seems to unravel.
