Voyage in Time
Andrei Tarkovsky / Tonino Guerra 1982 Italy
Andrei Tarkovsky and Tonino Guerra search for locations for Nostalgia.
Every now and again in this documentary, Tonino Guerra reads Tarkovsky a question posed by a fan who has written to him, asking for such things as advice to budding filmmakers and who has influenced Tarkovsky as a filmmaker himself. It paints a picture of two people - but Tarkovsky most of all - who take their "role" as artist or poet seriously, and like to make rather laughable documentaries about how serious they are. We shouldn't criticise their intentions (or should we?), but really, it adds absolutely nothing to our perceptions of Tarkovsky; in fact, it suffers from what most "making-of"s suffer from, the fact that the filmmaker isn't half as interesting as the films he makes. In turns amusing for the wrong reasons, mildly insightful and most of the time rather obnoxious.
