The missed "Nostalgia", the poetic dialogue predicts that it will be a nightmare for the senses. There are no logical clues, the careless plot prolongs the obscureness of the deliberate, every shot is almost as beautiful and heavy as an oil painting, making the light lyricism so depressing. The last 7 minutes of footage was almost exhausting, but for 7 minutes, I couldn't help watching the end of the ceremony with breathless eyes. I have to say that watching Tarkovsky's films is a test for most moviegoers. Those poetic and dreamlike artistic conceptions, those grand themes, lingering on the contemplation and exploration of life or religion, are presented in various metaphors and symbols in the lens, as well as melancholy and gloomy tones.
Andrea's nostalgia is the memory of the past, Dominica's nostalgia is the yearning for the Garden of Eden, the weak cold candle burns out their common bond. After the end of a dream of changing tone, loneliness, wandering, redemption, grief and compassion for the fate of this human being, just like the heavy fog that pervades the film, lingering forever.
