Critic Reviews

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    It's the best single piece of Tarkovsky criticism I know of, clarifying the overall coherence of his oeuvre while leaving all the principal mysteries in the films intact.

  • V.A. Musetto, New York Post

    Excellent documentary.

  • Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

    For anyone who is even remotely interested in the great filmmakers of the past century, it's a humble portrait of greatness that's great in itself.

  • J. Hoberman, Village Voice

    A brilliant appreciation of the last great Soviet director, Andrei Tarkovsky.

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

    A great film on one of the world's great filmmakers.
