About this event
Book tickets for two or more of our Andrei Tarkovsky films in the same transaction to receive a discount! In Nostalghia , we follow a musicologist, Gorchakov (Oleg Yankovskiy), during a research trip to Italy where the composer he's studying lived for several years. Gorchakov is apparently oblivious to his beautiful translator and the wonders of Italy, instead dwelling on memories of Russia. Things start to change when he encounters Domenico, a somewhat unstable man who has kept his family locked up for seven years while waiting the end of the world. Domenico has now decided that rather than wait he should do something about the end; and he's decided Gorchakov should help. Lushly beautiful and haunting, Nostalghia is also a challenging, thought-provoking meditation on man's search for self and the translatability of art and culture between language and place. The film, Tarkovsky's first directed outside the Soviet Union, won him Best Director at its Cannes Film Festival premiere.
