The influence of Andrei Tarkovsky's films on world culture
There are things that you simply must know - and among them, of course, Tarkovsky. For Western filmmakers, it's the God of Cinematography, ”said British filmmaker Danny Boyle. Many modern filmmakers proudly consider themselves, if not students and followers, then at least fans of Tarkovsky, who really had a huge impact on world cinema.
The most vivid example of recent times is the film "The Survivor" by Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu, in which critics and attentive viewers found a number of quotes and borrowings from Tarkovsky. At the same time, Iñarritu never hid his love for Tarkovsky's films, and while preparing for the filming of The Survivor, he even handed the production designer Jack Fisk a disc with Andrei Rublev, and he immediately understood what kind of film it would be.
The Dane Lars von Trier, who dedicated his film
Antichrist to the master, is considered to be Tarkovsky's "main
student" in the West. Director Andrei Zvyagintsev pointed out
the direct connection between Antichrist and Tarkovsky's legacy,
referring to the entry in Martyrologue, which became, as it were,
the source of von Trier's film: “New Joan of Arc” is a story about
how one man burned his beloved, tying her to a tree and
setting up a fire under her feet. For a lie. "
References to Tarkovsky can be found in many other films of Trier,
and one of the chapters of Nymphomaniac is even called The
Mirror.
Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan, winner of the Palme d'Or for Winter's Sleep, rates Mirror above all other films in world cinema. On the second place in the list of his personal passions - "Andrey Rublev". Ceylan said about Tarkovsky:
