Spotlight: Directors: Andrei Tarkovsky

Andrei Tarkovsky is a Russian film director and screenwriter widely regarded one of the greatest and most influential directors in cinema history (Ingmar Bergman called him “the greatest of them all”), despite only having made seven feature films. His work is known for its characteristic slow pacing, long takes, and dreamlike visual imagery.
