I thought to myself: What interesting trailer did Dule link to? The interesting looking Ex Machina? Vinterberg's Far From the Madding Crowd? Gosling's strange-looking directorial debut, Lost River? Or maybe something I had never heard of? But no, he didn't. :cry:
:lol2: it just popped up on my FB so I wanted to share as there are many super-hero lovers here.

Apparently Artificial Eye announced in November that they are releasing every Tarkovsky film on Blu-ray in 2015. I completely missed it. Stalker in HD. :tuttosport:

Artificial Eye to Release Andrei Tarkovsky Films on Blu-ray in 2015
British distributors Artificial Eye have informed us that they have re-licensed their Andrei Tarkovsky catalog and are planning to release a number of films on Blu-ray. Preliminary release dates are yet to be announced, but the first titles are expected to arrive on the market in Q2.

One of world's most visionary, celebrated and influential filmmakers, Andrei Tarkovsky made just seven features before his tragically early death at the age of 54. Characterised by metaphysical and spiritual explorations of the human condition, each film is an artistic masterpiece of extraordinary visual beauty and stands as an enduring classic of world cinema.

IVAN'S CHILDHOOD

Tarkovsky's extraordinarily accomplished debut feature is a powerful and moving tale of a 12
year-old boy who vows to avenge his family's death at the hands of the Nazis.
USSR 1962 | Black and white | Russian with English subtitles | 90 minutes approx.

ANDREI RUBLEV

Regarded by many as Tarkovsky's finest film, this epic tale of the great medieval icon painter
chronicles a turbulent period of Russian history and was long suppressed by the politically
sensitive Soviet authorities.
USSR 1966 | Black and white & part colour | Russian with English subtitles | 174 minutes approx.

SOLARIS

Based on Stanislaw Lem's novel, Solaris is a moving and unsettling vision of memory and humanity
which transcends the science fiction genre and has often been compared to
Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
USSR 1972 | Colour & black and white | Russian with English subtitles | 159 minutes approx.

MIRROR

Reflecting upon his own childhood and the destiny of the Russian people, this beautiful and
densely layered film is Tarkovsky's most autobiographical work.
USSR 1974 | Colour & black and white | Russian with English subtitles | 101 minutes approx

STALKER

Set in a devastated future landscape, Tarkovsky's second foray into science fiction is a surreal
and disturbing exploration of man's quest to realise his dreams and desires.
USSR 1979 | Colour & black and white | Russian with English subtitles | 154 minutes approx.

NOSTALGIA

Filmed in Italy just prior to his defection to the west, Tarkovsky's unforgettably haunting film
explores the melancholy of exile from one's homeland.
Italy 1983 | Colour | Russian and Italian with English subtitles | 120 minutes approx.

THE SACRIFICE

In Tarkovsky's final masterpiece, completed as he was gravely ill, a man vows to God that he
will sacrifice all he holds dear if an imminent nuclear catastrophe can be averted.
Sweden / France 1986 | Colour | Swedish, French and English with English subtitles | 142 mins approx.

Has anyone seen Ken Russell's The Fall of the Louse of Usher? What a fucking strange film. So bizarre. Campy horror meets Surreal nightmare meets absurdist musical theatre meets Edgar Allan Poe meets Dr Caligari (or in this case Dr Calahari).
