"The picture is in your head, in your imagination, everything." ~ Fredrico Fellini
Andrey Tarkovsky: Sculpting in Time : Reflections on the Cinema
Paperback: 254 pages *
Publisher: University of Texas Press; Reprint edition (April 1, 1989)
The idea behind the title of the book is that the film-goer goes to the cinema to experience time, and that the director's job is to sculpt the time that the audience experiences-- cut away the inessential words and seconds and pieces. This book is an introduction to the rules that Tarkovsky set for himself in achieving this goal.

Akira Kurosawa's Dreams consists of eight short films based on actual dreams of the director:
"Sunshine Through the Rain," features a young boy sneaking off into the forest on a rainy day to watch a procession of enchanted foxes. [WATCH!]
The Peach Orchard," a slightly older boy witnesses tree spirits performing a delicate dance. [WATCH! Part 1 ~ Part 2]
Weary travelers in "The Blizzard" face the elemental wrath of a snow enchantress. [WATCH! Part 1 ~ Part 2]
"Crows," an art aficionado literally walks into the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh (played by Martin Scorsese). [WATCH! Part 1 ~ Part 2]
"Mount Fuji in Red" is a fantastical cautionary tale about the hazards of nuclear power. [WATCH!]
"Village of the Watermills" brings the film to a quiet, pastoral end. [WATCH! Part 1 | Part 2]
