A quick Tarkovsky scene
The images blending together in an Andrei Tarkovsky film are similar to nothing I have ever experienced. This short scene, shot directly down a well, is from ‘The Stalker’, a phenomenal movie–phenomenology–that must be experienced. Tunnel vision, I envisioned the water flowing and moving at the bottom of the well as an elastic diaphragm between the soul and the world.

The Sacrifice scenes: ending and Little Man
A scene from a provocative film, ‘The Sacrifice’, by Andrei Tarkovsky, an insightful wallowing in the life (a life during wartime), and eventual breakdown, of a retired philosophical actor making little sense amidst truth-telling, while expressing the need for a savior, illuminating toward the direction of Christ. It was Tarkovsky’s last film, shot as he suffered through terminal cancer.
