[Anatoly Molotkov · Rating 5 out of 5]

Essential for those interested in Tarkovsky's films and thoughts, this diary sheds light on the director's daily struggle to get his existing work to audiences and ensure access to new projects in the ideologically stagnant USSR. Logistical concerns and even financial calculations intermingle with notes on the world's art and creative plans. After several unsettled years abroad, Tarkovsky learns of his illness and must abandon the projects he would now have access to. It's a sad and tragic story, although enlightening.
