THE MIRROR OF TIME. Andrei Tarkovskij’s cinema showcase.

The National Cinema Museum is organising a broad retrospective dedicated to the Soviet director Andrei Tarkovskij from 7 January to 1 February 2015 at the Cinema Massimo. Considered unanimously to be the most important Soviet director of the post-war age, the upholder of profound, mystical and visionary filmmaking, his films have an unmistakeable style, made of long sequences, unreal dialogues and metaphorical images. They feature spiritual and metaphysical themes, with complex and often difficult angles.

The mirror of time. Andrei Tarkovskij’s cinema showcase will be inaugurated by the screening of Katok i skripka (The steamroller and the violin, Ussr 1960, 55’, 35mm, col., o.v. it. s/t), on Wednesday 7 January at 4.30 p.m. Admission 6.00/4.00/3.00 euro.
