Musica Excentrica proud to present our compilation dedicated to most impressive film-directors of XX century Andrey Tarkovsky.
In the entire history of cinema there has never been a director, who has made such a dramatic stand for the human spirit as he did. Today, when cinema seems to have drowned in a sea of glamorized triviality, when human relationships on screen have been reduced to sexual intrigue or sloppy sentimentality, and baseness rules the day – this man appears as a lone warrior standing in the midst of this cinematic catastrophe, holding up the banner for human spirituality.
The Genius of modern Russian cinema – hailed by Ingmar Bergman as “the most important director of our time” – died an exile in Paris in December 1986.
After 22 years, passed from that year we decided to ask Kim Cascone, Astro, Violet, 833-45, Kenneth Kirschner, Astrowind, Pink Twins, Alva Noto, Nobukazu Takemura and Nikita Golyshev what do they think about Tarkovsky’s phenomenon. This musical answers are now gathered in a big compiliation, and we invite everyone to explore it.
