The movie is about a Russian poet traveling to southern Italy. The scenery is so beautiful. I visited that famous outdoor bathhouse when I was out of Tuscany. And the film's photography technique is very wonderful, often the Russian landscape and the Italian landscape are put together, and it looks like a dream. And not only the images, but the sound effects are also very distinctive. Also, the heroine in it is called a beauty, even I looked a little fanciful. Why is there such a beautiful beauty but not very famous? The problem is: if she were not very famous, she would probably not act in this movie. However, there are many photos of her on the Internet, with heavy makeup and ugly makeup. In the movie, she basically doesn't have any makeup, but she has the appearance of a saint.

    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
