Andrei Tarkovsky, Nostalgia.
00:05:32 - 00:10:32 In the hall of the Goddess Temple, countless stone pillars are arranged in an orderly manner. Such lines have a perspective effect, creating a sense of rhythm and creating a large space. With the movement of the camera, the lens shifts from the three-dimensional sense of the oblique direction to the front, and the picture forms a symmetrical composition. The feeling also arises spontaneously.
In the dialogue between the female translator and the priest, the two are on both sides of the diagonal line formed by several stone pillars. The camera always moves between the two people along the diagonal line, which reflects the guiding role of lines in the picture space. In other words, the director sets the characters at both ends of the line just to express such a film language.
I have to mention that the classic feature of Tarkovsky's films is its symmetrical composition, which pays attention to the visual balance of left and right, the balance of light and shadow, and the balance of lines and entities, just like 00:17:00-00 : In the clip at 19:45, a lady walking with a dog from a distance, passing one square doorway after another, from dark to light, the camera moves smoothly and slowly, giving a sense of stability and creating a The dignified and reserved temperament of the characters. She strolled past the Russian poets and female translators sitting on both sides of the hall. With the pace, the three of them formed triangles—straight lines—triangles in turn. The symmetrical composition combined with the chiaroscuro of the environment and the rendering of echoes, from beginning to end, gave people Harmony and balance with a peaceful and even deep sense of stability. After the lady left, the rhythm of the squares that were undoubtedly repeated in the hall formed a rhythm, showing the depth. At the same time, it formed a perfect symmetrical composition with the people sitting on both sides, highlighting the solemnity and profoundness in the silence.
The male poet and the female translator finished talking about the suicide of their confidant. They got up and walked forward (the camera) along the corridor. The whole person was hidden in the shadows. The space, the light hitting the face at that moment, reflects the escalation of the poet's inner struggle (please refer to the dialogue of the characters) He wants to find the "key" that can really open the door of his own spirit.
In the paragraphs from 00:25:30 to 00:29:30, the huge space in the room and the blank space make the picture appear empty. The Russian poet turned off the light but opened the window, and the shed light and the light from the bathroom Integrate with each other to create a balanced natural light effect inside the space. On the left side of the picture is a long and narrow window, square, bright, and raining; on the lower right is an equally long and narrow door, square and bright, with a large round mirror in it, which reflects the rain on and off; there is a large bed in the middle, Russia The poet is lying on his back with his dog on his side by the bed, and overall the composition is perfect.
The various forms of the large space recreate the sense of solemnity and stability without exception, but as the camera advances, through the graceful lines of the railing above the bed, the brighter light outside the window and the continuous sound of rain, the solemnity is once again reflected. It shows the loneliness and loneliness that the poet endures.
In terms of details, there are some lively contrasts, such as square and circle, light and dark, upper and lower, slender and thick, and the three spaces are arranged in a well-proportioned manner, which is a hint that through the large space, it seems that The harmonious small details come to highlight the instability in the stability, and it is also an externalization of the characters' inner feelings. But I do admire the director's ability to control the internal form and details of the space. Every kind of beauty in him blends with each other and is harmonious from beginning to end.
