Tarkovsky's Theory of Cinema

Tarkovsky's Theory of Cinema emphasizes that film should go beyond storytelling to evoke deep emotional and spiritual truths. He believed cinema is a poetic language capable of capturing the soul’s inner experiences through images, time, and silence. Instead of just presenting facts, Tarkovsky championed slow, thoughtfully composed scenes that invite viewers to reflect and connect on a profound level. His approach seeks to transcend mere entertainment, aiming to reveal the essence of human existence and the universe through the visual and poetic power of film.
