Timeline
Profiled in "Films and Dreams: Tarkovsky, Bergman, Sokurov, Kubrick and Wong Kar-Wei" by Thurston Botz-Borsnstein. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press, 2008.
"Dear Andrei Retrospective" held at the 2007 Navarra International Documentary Film Festival with Marina Tarkovsky and Alexander Gordon in attendance.
Friend of Sergei Parajanov, who was best friends with Mikhail Vartanov. All were graduates of the legendary Russian film school VGIK and met many times; the latter's Russian Academy Award-winning Parajanov: The Last Spring (1992) features a poetic chapter on the the friendship of Parajanov and Tarkovsky.
Was posthumously awarded the Lenin Prize in 1990, one of the highest state honors in the Soviet Union.
At the Cannes film festival, he won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury three times (more than any other director) with Offret (1986), Nostalghia (1983) and Stalker (1979).
Although strongly opposed to commercial cinema, in a famous exception Tarkovsky praised the blockbuster film The Terminator (1984), saying its "vision of the future and the relation between man and its destiny is pushing the frontier of cinema as an art".
Member of the jury at the Venice Film Festival in 1982.
Stalker (1979) had to be completely reshot on a dramatically reduced budget after an accident in the laboratory destroyed the first version, and after Nostalgia (1983), shot in Italy (with official approval), Tarkovsky defected to Europe.
Andrei Tarkovsky made 32 versions of The Mirror (1975) before he approved the final (33rd) cut.
Solaris (1972), had an easier ride, being acclaimed by many in Europe and North America as the Soviet answer to Kubrick's '2001' (though Tarkovsky himself was never too fond of it), but he ran into official trouble again with The Mirror (1975), a dense, personal web of autobiographical memories with a radically innovative plot structure.
This resulted in high expectations for his second feature _Andrei Rublyov (1969)_, which was banned by the Soviet authorities until 1971.
It was shown at the 1969 Cannes Film Festival at four o'clock in the morning on the last day, in order to prevent it from winning a prize - but it won one nonetheless, and was eventually distributed abroad partly to enable the authorities to save face.
The most famous Soviet film-maker since Sergei M. Eisenstein, Andrei Tarkovsky (the son of noted poet Arseniy Tarkovsky) studied music and Arabic in Moscow before enrolling in the Soviet film school V. G. I. K. He shot to international attention with his first feature, Ivan's Childhood (1962), which won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival.
At the State Institute of Cinematography (VGIK), he was in the same class as Irma Raush whom he married in April 1957.
His ten favorite films are; Journal d'un curé de campagne (1951), Mouchette (1967), Nattvardsgästerna (1962), Smultronstället (1957), Persona (1966), Nazarín (1959), City Lights (1931), Ugetsu Monogatari (1953), Shichinin no Samurai (1954) and Suna no Onna (1964).
