Andrei Tarkovsky
|
|
Born in Russia in 1932, IVAN'S CHILDHOOD was Andrei Arsenevich Tarkovsky's first feature (1962) which established him as an astonishing new talent. After producing an extraordinary body of work, including 'Solaris', 'Mirror' and 'Stalker' he announced, whilst working in Italy, that he would not return to the USSR; two years later he died in Paris. Tarkovsky's memory has since been venerated in his homeland, as it has throughout the world. |
