Description
What is nostos? At the same time, everything highest. Longing and return. The state of creativity without which there is no creation. Nostalgic yearning for creative freedom, for harmony of oneself with oneself and with God, for returning to the origins and accomplishing. And the price for all this is the highest. The price of nostos is life.
Writing or compiling books about Andrei Tarkovsky is thankless and difficult work, because everything you write or say is no more than you, but not on a par with Tarkovsky. Even his own lectures—because his texts are films that can only be understood over time. As of today, access to information about Andrei Arsenevich is still difficult. Texts, quotes—everything is controlled by the heirs and owners of photographs, letters, and even materials that accidentally ended up in someone’s hands. Among the photographs placed in the book (printed edition), there are unique photos of Tarkovsky’s last months of life, taken by Iren Brown—second director of the production “Boris Godunov” at Covent Garden, given by her to us. Also used are photos from the almanac “Spirit of Fire,” belonging to the director Sergey Solovyov, and photos by photo artist Valery Plotnikov. Everything was gathered piece by piece.
