Is weird that even with both side by side, Tarkovsky still manages to pull the sense of dream-like worlds within our reality with cinematography while the other represents the oddities of the world and the beauty with it

[@Tocqueville69]

Bergman once said "To me, Tarkovsky is the greatest.." I kinda have to disagree with him: In art, it's bad to say the" Best".......It's not a competitive sport, after all. Having said that, countless times I have uttered the words " To me, Tarkovsky is the greatest..."

[@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747]

There's a huge difference between " *To me* he's the greatest" and "This is the best". You cannot be wrong when you're giving an opinion, but also, I do believe Tarkovsky was the best.

[@MikelGCinema]

To me, Andrei was the best.

[@randomrecipes5007]

@@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747 Exactly, to me Kubrick is the greatest... but I understand why others think Tarkovsky, or Bergman, or Kurosawa, or anyone... some of the more popular choices like Nolan, Tarantino, Cameron, Fincher, Spielberg, Carpenter, Burton, etc to me are some of the best as well, or my faves.. more known to most.. but I have my opinions, and my faves, and no one can tell me different.. I wouldn't knock someone for saying "to me, Michael Bay is the greatest" I wouldn't agree, but I would respect their taste/opinion.. maybe film to them is spectacle, explosions, comedy, ridiculousness, over the top everything with crazy shots jammed with color... maybe that to them is peak cinema.. that's their opinion, and I respect it.

[@CB-rv9kb]

​@@randomrecipes5007 I don't think you would respect it, I think you would tolerate it.

[@DanLyndon]

To a degree, but really it is important for artists to assess the quality of other art, and the more you can ground that in argument the better.

[@Mmxxaamm]

To me the greatest two to ever do it, no discussions, no questions asked, they both are the masters for me.

[@ikangovanc6773]

@paul w with all due respect for bresson I believe tarkovsky took it to the next level transcending narratives to create poetry thats far more superior than anyone has achieved so far

[@ikangovanc6773]

@paul w yes true that bresson's minimalism liberated him to do very subtle things making the best use of cinematic language. Both tarkovsky & bresson both had their own vision and they done things that best bring out their artistic abilities :) so I felt comparing one with the other is like insulting them. Let's celebrate their works

[@michaelwu7678]

paul w You can’t watch Tarkovsky’s movies with a narrative mindset like Bresson’s or Bresson’s movies with a poetic mindset like Tarkovsky’s. Imo Bresson is equal to Tarkovsky, but Tarkovsky is the one who truly liberated cinema as an art form into something uniquely its own. The thematic material in Bresson’s movies can mostly be reworked into great narrative literatures, but with Tarkovsky, that would be impossible. Even Bergman recognized this when he stated “Tarkovsky is for me the greatest, the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream.”

[@raben7049]

@@michaelwu7678 Not all of Tarkovsky films do that though. Both great regardless

[@batmanfromindia7210]

Nah, If you look closer Tarkovsky was millions of miles ahead than any other.

[@praburajabelliganuru]

Tarkovsky and Bergman's films are more of moving frames than films. Aesthetically Brilliant!

[@ehsome]

Beautifully expressed. Some shots can indeed be described to be giving exactly this feeling. Your words in my view precisely highlight Tarkovsky's monumentality in cinematography - which derives from the greek word for movement: kinema; his compositions have explored, discovered and revealed this specific dimension of the art - this specific use of movement - this specific human feeling in response to seeing in what forms and compositions movement can exist and express - so, so beautifully...

[@DanLyndon]

In those days, films were called motion pictures after all.

[@fireemblem2770]

The way you treat the clips of Bergman with such gentleness… makes me now see what makes him so remarkable. I FINALLY get Bergman because of you.

[@siray3232]

I wanted to say the same thing, I didn't really appreciate Through a Glass Darkly during my first watch (and I haven't seen Summer with Monika) but I actually teared up at 1:51 and 2:22 because the music elevated the essence of the scenes

[@illz47]

Siray 2:22 is a great shot from Summer With Monika. But I’m excited to get to Through a Glass Darkly!

[@ehsimeserve8324]

The beauty of these shots is insane. I could watch a video like this for hours!

[@mahdibenfekih87]

I love how you wrapped all this up in Ólafur Arnald's Ágúst, great visual essay..

[@LisaHawkinsHotJava]

(1) Evocative, moving music. Who was the composer? (2) Intriguing: Swedish actor Erland Josephson played lead roles in both Bergman's and Tarkovsky's films! Josephson became a Bergman regular in the 1970's. (3) Two of the greatest filmmakers ever, without a doubt! Movies as art, a very apt juxtaposition. Thank you for creating this!

[@ThomasJester1968]

Josephson’s appearances for Bergman actually go back to the 40’s (at least It Rains On Our Love, though I could be mistaken), and was in dozens since, I believe he’s his most used actor. They were BFFs, too.

[@jesuslabra]

Great minds think alike way

[@batmanfromindia7210]

Bergman was much more articulate and disciplined But Tarkovsky ruthlessly spears your soul with visuals unlike any other.

[@Wallyworld30]

In 1979 Takovsky moved to Italy after having a falling out with the Soviet Film industry. He really missed an opportunity while he was there to capture rain in the Pantheon coming through the Oculul in the ceiling on film. We all know he loved recording indoor raining so why didn't he shoot in the one building that is designed rain indoors?

[@batuhanaskn3621]

The biggest succes of tarkovski is be able to use long background sequence in the best way

[@nelsonandreslopez9419]

The two pillars of cinema in my opinion. It was thanks to them and Kubrick that I decided to venture into auteur and art cinema and I have discovered other great contemplative teachers (such as Angelopoulos, Tárr, Bresson, Dreyer, etc.) and although I have enjoyed them I cannot help but feel that in their necessary asceticism they have let slip and lose a certain spark and spirituality that overflows with Tarkovsky and Bergman.

[@sandramorey2529]

Did you see Parajanov's Shadows of our Forgotten ancestors? He is often compared with Tarkovsky. He spent 5 years in a gulag for making Shadows.

[@tterrab999]

Beautifully done! It's easy to be curious as to "who did it first". Who copied whom? I think in most cases neither. There are probably examples in earlier films, but these the evolution and mastery of a concept.

[@homelessathome]

basically in one of his interview Bergman confessed an attempt to emulate Tarkovsky and to have blatantly failed in it

[@REALOSCURO]

Aunque no lo creas, el master Tarkovsky, no hubiera esta tan feliz, el nunca deseo repetirse de otro master. Lo dijo claro en una conferencia; pero si esto sucedía, él solo lo atribuye como algo inconsciente o una especie de tributo del que trataba de alejarse

Tarkovsky said in his Sculpting in Time that he never imitated another artist, and if he did, he'd reshoot it. But that's impossible. Influences constantly seep into your sub-conscious. Obviously he was influence by Bergman. Who wasn't?

[@whitestar5010]

In one of his interviews he admitted that sometimes we'd see that a scene reminds of what one could see, for instance, in a Bergman's picture, and then we'd let it be just to shoutout his collegue.

[@whitestar5010]

Bergman too was heavily influnced by Tarkovsky, he learned a great deal from Andrei Rublev, which was his favorite of all time

[@riva2003]

Imitation does not equal influence.
