[edit] Date of death
Many Russian sources (google Андрей Тарковский родился) and German version point to December 29. --EugeneZelenko 03:43, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I've heard of the uncertanity around the date of Tarkovsky's death before. Someone recently edited it from December 28 to December 29. Searching for "tarkovsky december 28" and "tarkovsky december 29" in Google (without the quotation marks) nearly gives an equal number of results. Any ideas? If we do not know for sure, the article should at least say so. --JonasRH 15:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tarkovsky template
I've put together a Tarkovsky template at User:Staecker/Template:Tarkovsky. It looks like:

|---|
| Feature films: Ivan's Childhood • Andrei Rublev • Solaris • Mirror • Stalker • Nostalghia • Voyage in Time (with Tonino Guerra) • The Sacrifice Student films: The Killers • Concentrate • There Will Be No Leave Today • The Steamroller and the Violin |
Any comments before I stick in on the pages? Feel free to change it around if you have ideas. Staecker 18:29, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- No objections, so I'm putting it in. Staecker 18:04, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Concentrate
Does anyone know why Concentrate is no longer listed at imdb? Estrose 23:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tarkovsky and Russia: Exile
The article says that Tarkovsky chose not to return to Russia in the final stage of his life. I don't think this is true. He was told by the Soviet authorities that he could not return while he was making Nostalgia. This forced rather than voluntary exile caused him immense pain as he was unable to see his family who were unable to leave the USSR. He also dearly loved Russia - as the movie Nostalgia shows - and talked himself about how the theme of that film - the yearning in the Russian heart for the homeland - suddenly became the central experience of his life while he was making it. The grief Tarkovsky felt about being cut off from home and family was immense. He didn't (and wouldn't have) voluntarily chosen never to see his loved ones again. ThePeg 2006
- As I've read it, he was declared a "non-person", which might sound strange today, but in those days, not so much! But he also said at some point that he didn't want to return to his homeland now that they were ready to welcome him (he won the Lenin Prize in 1990, posthumously). My view is that he was bitter and hurt about the whole thing. I'm not sure about his family, did he have a big family to begin with (I know he grew up with his grandmother, mother and sister as his father abandoned them -- I've added a link that might be useful about this, I didn't recall if his son had joined him, so I guess that's a big issue!)? This article could use more info, but I'm almost afraid to touch it! XD 0cm 22:41, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
