About ‘Homesickness’ (screened on May 28th)
Meditation helps illuminate the tranquility and majesty of the soul. This film is a pure description of poetic beauty and emotion
Like 1972’s “Flying into Space,” it is extraordinary and more hypnotic than 1979’s “The Underwater,” and 1983’s “Homesickness” is a magnificent physical work that unstoppably leads to an awe inspiring emotional climax
From 1962 to 1986, director Andrei Tarkovsky only directed seven feature films, each of which was considered an important masterpiece. “Homesickness” in 1983 was the sixth of these seven feature films and a film shot outside the Soviet Union. Since its premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival, ‘Homesickness’ has been considered less important than Tarkovsky’s other films, and in the following years, it has never completely shaken the reputation of’ another ‘, which is actually an extremely disheartening consensus
The director repeated the elements that run through his film works in ‘Homesickness’: indoor rain, a man with gray hair, and long and slow tracking shots. It finds comfort in old and familiar things to resist fear and uncertainty towards the new. We can consider it as Takovsky’s story about himself, as well as a naked emotional film about him
Homesickness “is not as despairing as” The Stalker “, but it does have its own different sadness. There is a sense of sadness here, a tangible separation from familiar and loved ones, but the difference is that it mourns in an unexpectedly warm way, and nostalgia is also a comfort. In the film, Gorchakov’s memories and dreams of the Soviet Union are somehow integrated into Italy, entering the real world through an unstable reality filled with clear poetic images and symbolic meanings. The ‘real’ scene constantly fluctuates between soft colors and almost completely unsaturated colors, evoking a sequence that never replicates black and white dreams
The ultimate meaning of all the uses in the movie is this: ancient architecture, ancient art, ancient memories, these have become beautiful and dying objects, which are both comforting and painful. This is a set of very humanized paradoxes and confusions, and it is also the most easily understood film by director Andrei Tarkovsky
