Let's watch “NOSTALGHIA” by A. Tarkovsky @ Siskel

About this event

Filmed in Italy while isolated from his native Russia, Andrei Tarkovsky’s **NOSTALGHIA** is a brooding, darkly poetic vision of exile. Russian researcher Andrei is working in Italy where he becomes obsessed with the Botticelli-like beauty of his translator Eugenia, as well as with the apocalyptic ramblings of a self-destructive wanderer named Domenico. Written with frequent **Michelangelo Antonioni** collaborator **Tonino Guerra**, NOSTALGHIA is a mystical collision of cultures, shot with a tactile beauty that only Tarkovsky can provide. **THE LOCATIONS IN ITALY ARE REAL EVEN THOUGH THEY SEEM COMING FROM A DREAM, ESPECIALLY THE FINAL SCENE. IT’S A REAL, BREATHTAKING AND MAGICAL PLACE.** THE TRAILER GIVES YOU A GOOD SENSE OF WHAT THE FILM IS ABOUT. IT IS A SLOW, VERY SLOW KIND OF FILM: [CLICK HERE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMy-T5GI7Z0) [You can buy your ticket here](https://www.siskelfilmcenter.org/nostalghia) I’ll meet you on the 2nd floor at 5.40.
