- Excerpts from the 1983 Italian documentary "A Voyage in Time" and the 2019 documentary "Andrei Tarkovsky: A Cinema Prayer".
Tarkovsky states that his only teachers in art have been Robert Bresson, Johann Sebastian Bach, Leo Tolstoy and Leonardo da Vinci. He also talks about the asceticism of Bresson's cinema. In the end, the Russian master argues that all of them are poets.

Bresson, Bach, Tolstoy, Da Vinci, Tarkovsky: like five fingers on a giant's hand.
Thanks for the excerpts.
“Simplicity is the final achievement.” - Frédéric Chopin
Dude everrrrybody says this about Bresson - I have read / watched at least 85 people make the same comments about Bresson’s perfect simplicity in cinema.
It’s true
Cool last shot.
Вот это очень нужный и важный кусок монолога! Он верен, точен... просто бриллиант, особенно для подрастающего ищущего смыслы поколения.
Like Andrei Rublev watching the boy cast the bell--that's the distance between Tarkovsky and Bresson, et al.

What did Tarkovsky mean by Bresson's, "asceticism?" Nice vid, I happen to be a fan of Tarkovsky.
His restraint from any stylistic flourishes or excesses which might obfuscate to any degree his pure content. Nothing in Bresson is superfluous, just like how every note Bach wrote
Thank you for clarifying that. Have a good day.@@villain7140
im probably an idiot but who is leonardo? whenever i try to look him up it comes up with da vinci lol
Он ещё книги писал (давинчи)
Above all is you
For those who find Bach, NOT SIMPLE:
Perhaps, Bach parodied, mocked at and ridiculed those in Music-making and fellow humans in Life itself...presenting his music as a METAPHOR for the general tendency of nearly everyone
to Complicate INSTEAD OF Simplifying... and also simultaneously
taking critical potshots at his musical contemporaries practising it and critics who were wowed by such needless, excessive complexity!
Even today, the Deceptively Simple and the Purely Simple are NOT accorded the recognition,respect and acclaim in any art form,also in any walk of life!
But...Simplifying the Deeply Complex requires Prodigious Genius.
Shakespeare had it .
Antonioni had it.
Rodin had it.
Robert Frost had it.
Bertolucci had it.
Henri Verneuil had it.
So he's a Tolstoi over Dostoyevsky guy
Simplicity in Bach's music? He wrote the most complex counterpoints imaginable.
@@ubir9743 Bach's music doesn't appear as simple. He was criticized already in his own time for being too complicated. For example, Scheibe wrote about him: "This great man would be the admiration of whole nations if he had more amenity, if he did not take away the natural element in his pieces by giving them a turgid and confused style, and if he did not darken their beauty by an excess of art."
@@ubir9743 OK.
I dont think he said bach wrote simple music, i think he was listing artists who he felt art flowed from them simply or without effort.
Name a simpler piece of music than the Sarabande from his 5th Cello Suite
@@antoinepetrov Yes, Bach wrote simple music as well (although I don't think that this Sarabande is simple). But most of his pieces are very complex.

i will never watch a tarkovsky film. because i dont want the my imagination about how fantastical and connective his films are to be reduced.
That's so stupid
Kinda retarded, actually
come on man
спросил бы у Тарковского, на чём он строил свои фильмы... не на музыке ли Баха....не на живописи ли . не на устоях поэзии ли? отобразил хорошо. но не создал идею. а всех смог принизить. какое кино...очнитесь.

You should know that already
@@kaykay865 can you explain?
Pretentious as hell
Tarkovsky didn't pretend.
Just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean it’s pretentious.
There is nothing difficult to understand about worshiping big names and following the modernist canon in storytelling and visual techniques.@@themoreyouknowfools4974
