The Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents a retrospective look at Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky, going on now until Feb. 5. For those who only know the remake of his film "Solaris" with George Clooney, this retrospective would be a fantastic introduction to this epic director and his phenomenal works. Be sure to check out perhaps his most famous film, “Andrei Rublev” (1966), Saturday, January 30. This film chronicles religious icon painter Andrei Rublev. Taking place in Medieval Russia, the film reflects on the life of Rublev as “he tries to reconcile his faith, his art, and the savage reality around him”. Get there early to also check out “Meeting Andrei Tarkovsky”, a documentary about the director as told by many of his collaborators.
"Tarkovsky for me is 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". –Ingmar Bergman
