Oleg Yankovskiy, Erland Josephson and Domiziana Giordano star in Andrei Tarkovsky's first film to be made outside the Soviet Union, a drama about longing.
Andrei Gorchakov is a famous Russian writer who has travelled to Italy in order to research the life of a Russian composer who studied there in the 1700s, before returning to his homeland to commit suicide. Gorchakov is aided in his endeavour by the beautiful interpreter Eugenia, who is clearly attracted to him. While exploring Tuscany, Gorchakov encounters a man called Domenico, who believes he has found a means of bringing peace to the world. Gorchakov is drawn to the mystic and his ideas, but will discover that the would-be saviour has a disturbing past...
First screening on Film4. Film4's Andrei Tarkovsky Season concludes next week with a screening of The Sacrifice.(In Italian with English Subtitles)
