In his 1986 "Diary", Andrei Tarkovski comments on the footage filmed upon the arrival in Paris of his son, Andrioucha, who was at last allowed to join him in France : "I look frightfully ill-at-ease, unnatural, I am holding back my feelings and repeating the same nonsense... Larissa (his wife) is no better. She's soliloquizing, spouting words as if making a toast, laughing and crying at the same time..."
This Russian day is the pretence to recall, quote and put in perspective the language of one of the cinem'a towering stylists. We examine the films in the light of the central Tarkovskyan themes and his unique style. Too, we get a glimpse of his early film school work in Moscow and the vitually unseen "Boris Godunov", which he staged at Covent Garden in 1983.
