Andrei Tarkovsky: A Cinema Prayer

The life, art, and inner world of Russian master Andrei Tarkovsky is explored through the filmmaker’s own words and images in this quietly reverent tribute to a cinematic titan.

Lovingly made by the director’s son, A Cinema Prayer draws from a wealth of archival materials – rare audio recordings, photographs, film excerpts, and behind-the-scenes footage from the making of masterpieces such as Andrei Rublev and Stalker – to reveal the filmmaker’s profoundly personal thoughts on topics like existence, death, religion, and cinema.
