Additional InformationDirector Andrei Tarkovsky recasts his lifelong cinematic motif of humanity's quest for faith in the waterlogged and mist-ensconced countryside of Italy for his philosophical masterpiece NOSTALGIA. Andrei Gorchakov (Oleg Yankovsky) is a misanthropic Russian scholar researching the life of an exiled Russian composer who committed suicide. With the help of his beautiful guide, Eugenia (Domiziana Giordano), Andrei visits mystical and religious sites on the trail of the late composer's legacy. In the shadow of the doomed composer's memory, Andrei finds himself crippled by a melancholy nostalgia for his Russian homeland, only to discover redemption in the form of a madman, Domenico (Erland Josephson), whom he encounters at St. Catherine's pool, a religious site in Sienna. Domenico, a former professor who once locked his family away for seven years in anticipation of Armageddon, now leads a seemingly insane existence, believing that if he can travel across the pool with a lighted candle, he can save all of humanity. As in his mystical film THE MIRROR, Tarkovsky weaves a dense, mediatative pattern of images--freely mixing past and present, dream and reality, color and black and white, landscape and architecture--with the scholar and the madman acting as allegorical players in a metaphysical trial by fire and water.

ReviewsLos Angeles Times - ...In its stately, measured way NOSTALGHIA, in its culminating spirit of affirmation, becomes akin to a religious experience...

Beautiful photography, slow as in real time. Worth watching again.
Tarkovsky always takes his time, enter the realm of dream time, memories, loss, longing ,stories unfold textured layers laid bare sometimes raw.
