Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky's first film in exile: made in Italy about a Russian in exile. It has every reason to be painfully vivid, including its lentissimo tempo and finely etched photography. But vivid is the last thing it is: in other words, only the climactic walk across the water, with candle in hand, is vivid. Can anybody remember a Tarkovsky movie a month after seeing it? With Oleg Yankovsky, Erland Josephson. (1983) — Duncan Shepherd
This movie is not currently in theaters.
