Andrej Tarkovskij is a Russian filmmaker born in 1932 and deceased in 1986 in France at 54.
Despite the censorship he suffered in his native country, he made seven feature films that are among the masterpieces of 20th century cinema. The book, “Schriften, Filme, Stills” (“Texts, Movies, Photographs”) published by Schirmer/Mosel is an homage to the filmmaker produced with his son, Andrei Tarkovsky (Jr.). It combines texts, cinema images, documentary and personal photographs.
Since the release of “Hanny Schygulla” the German actress, Schirmer/Mosel has devoted an increasingly large part of its production to works about cinema actors (Marlène Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe…) and directors (Rainer Werner Fassbinder…). The movies featured in this work include: “Ivan’s Childhood”» (1962) winner of the Lion d’or at the Mostra de Venise, “Andrei Roublev” (1966),”Solaris” (1972) winner of the Grand prix spécial du jury at the Cannes Film Festival, “The Mirror” (1974) “Stalker” (1979), “Nostalghia” (1983) winner of the cinema and creation prize in Cannes with “L’Argent” by Robert Bresson, and “Le Sacrifice” (1986). The text for the book was written by German historian and critic Hans-Joachim Schlegel.
