''Images are something beyond symbols, this is why I prefer them''-Tarkovsky
This was a quotation of his I heard a few years ago and his explination of symbols being something defined and images being something beyond that and him calling art preparing for death and stating he ''prayed through cinema'' I found facinating. I've watched some of Solaris and liked it quite a bit (I must be honest I still have to finish it). But I'll be sure to added theses to the grocies list in the back of my mind, thanks.
I rarely tear up at films (music’s another matter entirely!) but the climactic bell casting scene always summons the dew. Something about the sheer hungry tangibility about that collective bid for transcendence. And the anxious waiting upon the the result. To quote Wordsworth —
Stark, intricate - stunning. "I want to paint icons so people can see what's in their souls." That is obvious from the film itself. (I only watched the long version; the other material awaits.) The choral finale was more powerful than I have words for. Thanks for all of this!

Wow, this is an awesome suggestion. I think I'll watch it with my wife soon. I'm always looking for a good film that is actually thought provoking.
Looks like this may be a good part of my November

“I've heard of hearts unkind, kind deeds
With coldness still returning;
Alas! the gratitude of men
Hath oftener left me mourning.”
