Andrei Tarkovsky
still
from Stalker
So many shoulders to stand on:
Peter Paul Rubens, how he constructs his paintings.
Frans Hals, all those variations in black.
The silence of Francisco de Zurbaran.
The great Americans: Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning,
(and also a late discovery: Milton Resnick).
Jannis Kounellis: how raw material can tell a story.
Poetry: Jan Jacob Slauerhoff, Dylan Thomas.
Too much to mention actually.
But most impressive: Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker and
Andrei Roebljov.
Films in which you can get lost forever.
Wandering around without going straight for your goal.
As Tarkovsky said: "My ideal spectator watches a
film like a traveller looks around in the country he's visiting.”
