I'm fed up with all your beauties.

I don't want to take it anymore. All this beauty of yours... I can't take it anymore.

I just can't tell you this. It makes me feel gloomy, grey, lethargic, vacuous, full of dank mists and fantasies about women.

To say I'm proud of it... Rather, just say I've come to live with it.

The sound of the film is like the sound of burning tobacco.

The homeland is forever a myth. It's a place that is meant to abandon you. Mostly because it has hosted you, like water, like a womb.

"It's the so-called healthy who have brought the world to the verge of ruin."

Some films are dedicated to the innermost personal intensity. Some are there, transcending the human soul to the ciel. both irresistible.

I like it when I'm all hallucinated but the movie stays sober and goes on.

I don't know if this is how Russians felt, but he depicted it well enough. It makes me want to repeat, to inflict this pain... on you. And I know he's not the one. He's just the one on whom I inflict this pain. And, to this day, I believe in this love of unshakeable pain...

Every movie tells a story about death. Death is what defines us. Utmost.

    Nostalgia in Greek etymology means 'homecoming'. At the time of filming, Tarkovsky had already left the Soviet Union. The nostalgia here has its own nostalgia for Russia's 'mother', as well as the alienation of human beings who reject the lack of values ​​and beliefs under modernity / always rely on lust to fill the gap, Desire to return to the side of the cradle civilization supported by faith. However, the past is finally out of reach, and the melancholy turns into an intangible but inextricable pain. The two story lines of the poet and the madman are the two sides of this nostalgia; the poet said that the translation 'never able to understand Russia' is because she is a modern person, And modern people - as explained in the first act - cannot kneel before the Madonna. The poet walked three times to the other side, guarding the candles symbolizing faith. In the ruins of the church lies the wooden house of his hometown in memory. The pictures of memories are always accompanied by running water, which is clearly visible but cannot be grasped. The authenticity of Bergman's film language lies in the interweaving of reality and dream. Being able to take pictures of the bright and beautiful landscapes of Italy out of Russia's decay and depth is really where people are in their motherland. compassionate, moving

    The whole film uses a lot of long shots, the misty hot springs, and the villages are the wet and lonely hearts of people after leaving their hometowns. Most of the people who go to church are women, but this does not mean that women have more faith than men, but they have more hopes than men. The characters and shots in the film are slow and heavy, and the narratives of poets, musicians, and writers are similar to monologues. They talk to themselves alone, no one understands
