What is Andrey Tarkovsky’s early family history? How is Andrei Tarkovsky remembered today? Andrei Tarkovsky, the celebrated film-maker, was born in Zavrazhye in the Kostroma Region of Russia. His father was a poet and his mother worked in publishing. When his father left the family in the late 1930s, Andrei and his sister went to Moscow with their mother. It was there that Andrei received his education, apart from during the war years when they returned to Zavrazhye. Extra Tarkovsky enrolled at a film school in Moscow in 1954. This was an exciting period to be a film student in Russia. The 50s were a time when Russian society began to be more open towards foreign films, music and literature. Tarkovsky was interested in a wide variety of film styles, from Japanese films to those of the great Swedish director, Ingmar Bergman. The first full-length film Tarkovsky made was Ivan’s Childhood in 1962, not long after graduation. The film was met with international acclaim and went on to win the Golden Lion prize at that year’s Venice Film Festival. Throughout his career, Tarkovsky would continue to win prizes and the admiration of both critics and cinema fans the world over. There are many themes and images in Tarkovsky’s films. He often uses images of running water, waves and clouds, as well as bells and candles. Tarkovsky’s use of imagery, his extremely long takes – where the camera is used like an eye that doesn’t blink – and his preference for black and white, rather than colour film, give his films a very dream-like quality. Tarkovsky died in Paris in 1986 at the age of only 54. Strangely, both his wife, Larissa, and the actor Anatoli Solonitsyn, who starred in the film Stalker, also died of the same rare illness that affected Tarkovsky. No-one is really sure how they got it. During his career as a director, Tarkovsky only made 7 feature films. This is a surprisingly small number for a director regarded as one of the world’s greats. The most notable of these films are Solaris and Stalker. Tarkovsky was involved in writing the film scripts for all his films and also wrote a book on the theory of film directing.
