Andrey Tarkovsky, the genius of modern Russian cinema--hailed by Ingmar Bergman as "the most important director of our time"--died an exile in Paris in December 1986. In Sculpting in Time, he has left his artistic testament, a remarkable revelation of both his life and work. Since Ivan's Childhood won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1962, the visionary quality and totally original and haunting imagery of Tarkovsky's films have captivated serious movie audiences all over the world, who see in his work a continuation of the great literary traditions of nineteenth-century Russia. Many critics have tried to interpret his intensely personal vision, but he himself always remained inaccessible.

In Sculpting in Time, Tarkovsky sets down his thoughts and his memories, revealing for the first time the original inspirations for his extraordinary films--Ivan's Childhood, Andrey Rublyov, Solaris, The Mirror, Stalker, Nostalgia, and The Sacrifice. He discusses their history and his methods of work, he explores the many problems of visual creativity, and he sets forth the deeply autobiographical content of part of his oeuvre--most fascinatingly in The Mirror and Nostalgia. The closing chapter on The Sacrifice, dictated in the last weeks of Tarkovsky's life, makes the book essential reading for those who already know or who are just discovering his magnificent work.

Assessment Out Of Books Sculpting in Time

Simply the greatest book I have ever read. It will last forever. It took me this long to read because I found myself having to read each page 2-3 times. I think that I've barely even scratched the surface of it still. Re-reading it will likely prove how layered this book really is. Not only a masterclass for cinema, but also for art in general. And life as an artist really. I loved it to death.

Quite literally the definitive statement on his own work. The insight into his beliefs is invaluable. All hail the master.

Holy wow. I want to memorise this entire book verbatim. A wise, uncompromising, still-utterly-relevant joy.

"I see it as my duty to stimulate reflection on what is essentially human and eternal in each individual soul, and which all too often a person will pass by, even though his fate lies in his hands. He is too busy chasing after phantoms and bowing down to idols. In the end everything can be reduced to the one simple element which is all a person can count upon in his existence: the capacity to love. That element can grow within the soul to become the supreme factor which determines the meaning of

i like tarkovsky's films , but after i read this book i start to watch films in a different way , every dettail is important, the music, the silence , the script, i knew that , but i start to open my eyes and catch the time !

It's an influencial film language book. The concept and technique of film making is so brilliant. He's my ultimate film maker.

The closest I can come to describing the way Tarkovsky writes is "lucid depth". His prose is simultaneously clear and packed with philosophical richness. It's challenging in the best possible way.
