Nostalghia

Een scene die goed laat zien hoe ik graag werk is de kaars-scene uit Nostalghia van de Russische filmmaker Andrej Tarkovsky.

Het gaat om meerdere dingen:
-spelregels (en het breken ervan)
-herhaling
-symboliek
-spelen met echt en nep
-magie
-overtuigingskracht
-rust
-aandacht
-eenvoud

David Weber Krebs zegt hier over: 'This action is so simple, so understandable, delicate and therefore dangerous, and at the same time filmed with such a care, that we truly forget that we are watching a movie. It is as if it would happen here, in front of us. And then at a certain moment the character breaks the rule: he gives a sign to the cameraman who is accompanying his steps. And the camera indeed stops. The frontier between the dying character and the actor who is playing him disintegrates immediately. And we who witness this, we are suddenly truly brought back to the awareness, that this was no reality. And when, after a short moment, they go on, we have no other urge, than following the dying character again.'
