Andrei Tarkovsky has an unmistakable, everlasting presence in contemporary cinema — from the first season of True Detective to Christopher Nolan’s blockbusters; in the smooth panoramas of Alejandro González Iñárritu, the associative montage of Terrence Malick, the elaborate staging of Tarsem, and Lars von Trier’s use of color; in how Nuri Bilge Ceylan portrays landscapes and elemental forces, in the unhurried rhythms of Carlos Reygadas, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Bi Gan, Hayao Miyazaki, and many other adherents of slow cinema. Tarkovsky’s influence is exorbitant (even extending into video games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.), and his figure is intimidatingly immense to the masses: he has always been considered too elitist, obscure, and extremely difficult to understand.
