The Cinema of Tarkovsky: Labyrinths of Space and Time
Author(s): Nariman Skakov
Explores the phenomenon of spatio-temporal lapse in Tarkovsky's cinema - from Ivan's Childhood (1962) to Sacrifice (1986). Dreams, visions, mirages, memories, revelations, reveries and delusions are phenomena which present alternative spatio-temporal patterns; they disrupt the linear progression of events and create narrative discontinuity.
Product Information
'An illuminating long take of the creative work of one of the most enigmatic and thought-provoking filmmakers of the twentieth century. The book sets high standards not only for thinking about Tarkovsky, but for writing about cinema as such. By combining a reflection on the cinematic and the philosophical, this book transforms the boundaries of both.' - Dragan KujundA ic, Professor of Film and Media Studies and Slavic Studies, University of Florida; 'Before this book, Tarkovsky's preoccupation with "sculpting in time" had become a critical cliche. Here Skakov brings it alive again, offering a fresh, theoretically-informed and entirely original approach. He reveals Tarkovsky's work as creating "textural" temporality, offers fresh readings of the key films, and a compelling theoretical framework.' - Emma Widdis, Head of Department of Slavonic Studies, Cambridge University
Nariman Skakov is Assistant Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Stanford University.
