A standing ovation to Pacific Cinematheque for its upcoming retrospective featuring every film but one (Stalker) by legendary Russian film-maker Andrei Tarkovsky, one of the essential Soul Food directors - challenging, uncompromising, rewarding. The opportunity to see these pictures on a large screen is to be coveted - the epic scope of Andrei Rublev in particular (here's my article) demands that sort of scale, the story of a religious artist struggling with his vocation in the face of overwhelming human suffering.
