Ideal for students and scholars of film and philosophy, as well as cinephiles interested in avant-garde and auteur cinema. Readers with an appreciation for deep, theoretical analysis of cinematic form and time will find this book particularly engaging.
Explores the phenomenon of spatio-temporal lapse in Tarkovsky's cinema - from Ivan's Childhood (1962) to Sacrifice (1986). Dreams, visions, mirages, memories, revelations, reveries and delusions are phenomena which present alternative spatio-temporal patterns; they disrupt the linear progression of events and create narrative discontinuity.

Description
The phenomenon of time was a central preoccupation of Tarkovsky throughout his career. His films present visions of time by temporal means—that is, in time. Tarkovsky does not represent time through coherent argument, Nariman Skakov proposes; rather, he presents it, and the viewer experiences the argument.
The Cinema of Tarkovsky explores the phenomenon of spatio-temporal lapse in Tarkovsky's cinema—from Ivan's Childhood (1962) to Sacrifice (1986). Dreams, visions, mirages, memories, revelations, reveries, and delusions are phenomena which present alternative spatio-temporal patterns; they disrupt the linear progression of events and create narrative discontinuity. Each chapter is dedicated to the discussion of one of Tarkovsky's seven feature films, and in each, one of these phenomena functions as a refrain. Skakov discusses the influence of the flow of and lapses in space and time on the viewer's perception of the Tarkovskian cinematic universe.
He opens and closes his original and fascinating book on Tarkovsky's cinema by focusing on the phenomenon of time that is discussed extensively by the filmmaker in his main theoretical treatise Sculpting in Time, as well as in a number of interviews and public lectures.

'An illuminating long take of the creative work of one of the most enigmatic and thought-provoking filmmakers of the twentieth century,' praises Dragan Kujundžić, highlighting the book's high standards in both film and philosophical critique. Emma Widdis describes it as a fresh, theoretically-informed approach that reinvigorates Tarkovsky's concept of 'sculpting in time,' offering compelling readings and an original framework for understanding his work.
