absolutely haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate Solaris and Stalker, I'll be fucked if I'm watching any more of that guy's tiresome nonsense

Tarkovsky's fine with me, but he's Ingmar's student

I think I've just about recovered from my early-20s attempt at watching Solaris to try him again.

Solaris is not a particularly punishing work, for him.

That's what I'm afraid of.

wow !
well... try Ivan's Childhood, only 95 minutes! and really great!

the only thing that makes Solaris less "punishing" is how pretty it is. it's just as languorous as Stalker. i love both but Solaris is my favorite

I watched Stalker last summer in a theater and don't need to rewatch it.

stalker is gorgeous too
i tend to be able to only watch tarkovsky films once as well though i've seen solaris 4-5 times (i intended to write about it)

punishing tarkovsky is def the sacrifice

xp it is, and i didn't find it boring, but Solaris i could watch over and over. colloidal silver oceans & pink skies vs. sepia dust world and radioactive waste

mirror is the tarkovsky for skeptics i think.
― difficult listening hour, Tuesday, 10 July 2018 18:56 (five years ago) link
my favorite is The Mirror fwiw, but Andrei Rublev not far behind

I thought The Sacrifice was relatively accessible (for him), and is a favorite of mine along with The Mirror

Nostalghia is definitely his most 'inaccessible' for lack of a better word - but if you're on his frequency it's astonishing.

You have to look at the lists side by side. Putting aside placement, half of the two lists overlap. So it comes down these 10 from their list vs. these 10 from the ILX list:
Cinematary 10: Kiarostami, Akerman, Malick, Ford, P.T. Anderson, Coppola, Yang, Kar-wai, Hawks, Dreyer
ILX 10: Powell & Pressburger, Fassbinder, Buñuel, Altman, Renoir, Lang, Antonioni, Wilder, Murnau, Bresson
