To present nature as a threat to humanity is a theme he likes to examine in his films. The house scene is wonderful! <br /><br />@ Jack L - I didn't hate it. I just struggled to get through it. My interest in the story wasn't there this time. Although Otto's monologues were particularly good. How does he create settings that appear so drained of life?

I like how Tarkovsky uses nature to reflect human emotions (the planting a tree scene you mention for ex) A style of filmmaking lars von trier payed homage to in AntichristChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-71086967218357355262011-04-24T00:28:52.400+10:002011-04-24T00:28:52.400+10:00Great review!
This is one of my favourite Tarkovs...Great review!<br /><br />This is one of my favourite Tarkovskys, although I can very well understand how you would not be so impressed by it than by some of his other work. <br />I just found this one, more than any other of his films to be simply beautiful for many reasons.<br /><br />At least you didn't hate it...<br />I was surprised at how harsh some of the other reviews I read were.Jack Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558083317361098572noreply@blogger.com
