Plot

A Russian poet in Italy is haunted by home.

Sinekatalog’s take

Tarkovsky's Italy-set film follows a Russian poet haunted by homesickness. Slow and mystical, with candle-carrying and long takes in mist and water, it is among his most personal.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
