In 1979 when the Chernobyl disaster (1986) was still far in the future the Russian film director Andrei Arsenyevich Tarkovsky made this impressive melancholic movie.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
No one could make a movie like this except Tarkovsky. Still my favorite after all these years.
