Nostalgia

Andrei Tarkovsky’s (Stalker, Mirror) unforgettable Nostalgia – his penultimate film, and his first film made outside Russia – returns to cinemas in a stunning new 4K restoration.

Nostalgia explores the melancholy of the expatriate through the film’s protagonist, Gorchakov, a Russian poet who arrives to live and work in Tuscany but finds himself beset by a profound loneliness and an intense longing for his homeland. Perhaps more than any other Tarkovsky film, Nostalgia is filled with mysterious and extraordinary images, with nature, the elements of fire and water, music, painting and poetry all playing a major role.

“Hauntingly beautiful” ★★★★ Empire
