Yesterday, I <a href='completion.html' target='_blank'>posted</a> about how I start so many side projects and finish so few.

I bought a new car a few months ago, and I grew fond of it fairly quickly.

There’s a feeling of gumminess running up the middle of my torso, just in front of my spine.
I recognize it as a signal that I’ve been sitting too long.

<h1 id='title'>I want to watch Andrei Tarkovsky’s films</h1>
<time datetime='Mon, 6 Feb 2023 19:30:00 CST'>6 Feb 2023, 7:30 PM</time>
<p>
I first encountered the work of Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky via the video game <i>The Witness</i>.
There’s an easter egg in the game where you unlock a number of video clips.
One of them is a ten-minute clip from the Tarkovsky film <i>Nostalghia</i>.*
</p><p>
There’s no dialogue in the clip.
The first part is a long shot of a man trying to carry a candle across a courtyard.
The second long shot is of a man and a dog sitting next to a pond, with a house in the background.
As the shot slowly zooms out, you can see that the whole scene is within the ruins of a large, roofless church.
</p>

<p>
I sat through the entire clip when I encountered it in-game, and I thought it was cool.
I’m not into cinema, so I hadn’t seen much like it.
I was fascinated that such long shots where so little happened could hit you so hard.
It made me want to see the rest of the film.
</p><p>
I don’t watch movies very often, so I haven’t actually gotten around to watching any of his films.
But I did read about another film of his that I’d like to see.
It’s called <i>Solaris</i> and it’s an adaptation of a science fiction story of the same name by Stanisław Lem.
</p><p>
A little while ago, I found Andrei Tarkovsky’s <a href='https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Andrei_Tarkovsky' target='_blank'>Wikiquote page</a>.
I really liked his perspective on art, especially a lot of the things he said in his book <i>Sculpting in Time</i>, so now I want to read that too.
To finish this post off, I’ll include a few of my favorites:
</p><blockquote>
Never try to convey your idea to the audience — it is a thankless and senseless task. Show them life, and they'll find within themselves the means to assess and appreciate it.
</blockquote><hr/><blockquote>
If you try to please audiences, uncritically accepting their tastes, it can only mean that you have no respect for them: that you simply want to collect their money.
</blockquote><hr/><blockquote>
The more hopeless the world in the artist's version, the more clearly perhaps must we see the ideal that stands in opposition — otherwise life becomes impossible! Art symbolises the meaning of our existence.
</blockquote><p>
Have you seen any Andrei Tarkovsky films?
Do you have any suggestions for other ones I should check out?
Are there any movies you’re interested in but haven’t gotten around to?

* I’ve read articles that said <i>The Witness</i> was pretentious for including stuff like this, but I personally thought it was a cool thing to do in a puzzle game.

Over the years, I have gradually gotten more interested in fashion.
For a long time, I almost exclusively bought clothes at thrift stores.

In <a href='rhombic-dodecahedron.html'>Wednesday’s post</a>, I wrote that I enjoy learning about geometry on Wikipedia,
and about a very nice shape that I found there, the rhombic dodecahedron.
