Publisher's Synopsis
Telling with images is one thing, but telling through images is quite another. With Tarkovsky, the image is not simply a means of transcribing what is already in the author's mind; the image is the place par excellence of creation, an absolute space where time is recomposed by its three modes, past, present and future, all aligned on the same temporal stratum, composing a breathtaking audiovisual format. In Tarkovsky's cinema, it's writing through images to reveal the depths of the soul, which is none other than the true writing of silence.
