UK Desk for Arts Express 2-5-25: Tarkovsky in 2025?

I chat with Professor Sergey Toymentsev, who offers a fresh and in-depth perspective on the work of Andrei Tarkovsky. We explore Tarkovsky’s cinematic language, his spiritual and philosophical themes, and his lasting influence on global cinema. Sergey discusses how Tarkovsky’s films engage with Russian and Soviet history, the intersection of politics and art, and the ways his legacy continues to evolve. We also examine Tarkovsky’s relationship with other filmmakers, including Sokurov and Larisa Shepitko, and consider how his work resonates in today’s political and artistic landscape.
