Description

If you want to find out how to make a movie, this is not the book for you. On the other hand, if you're one of those who believe in the transcendental power of movies to reflect on humankind, to change it, this might be the single most powerful book on aesthetics ever written by a filmmaker you'll ever find. I say "aesthetics" because he's talking about art, in general, and not only about films. It's sad, but Tarkovsky might have been expecting a longer life, maybe another couple movies when he put this book together, but he died just afterwards.
