I love this one

It's even better when you know that we were just too lazy to pick it up, and so it hung there for several months, frosting and defrosting depending on the weather.

shocking behaviour - what would the neighbours think? ;-)

The photo has an atmosphere that reminds me of Tarkovsky's Polaroids, though I'm not sure if you would like them...

This was at an art school so it was considered normal. Heh! I love Tarkovsky, and like his polaroids as well. Белый, белый день

Ah - so you were making an 'installation' - a comment on the nature of frozen time ;-)

Glad you love Tarkovsky... I wanted to own that book, but it is very expensive now.
'Nostalghia' sticks in my mind most. The candle, the pool, the dog...
I have still never seen Solaris - I think I was saving that for some unknown future time.

Oh, I can thoroughly recommend Solaris. It's a good idea to save things though. There are, for example, many bands I never got round to listening & can enjoy them now. I think there's a right moment for everything. Solaris is a really good book as well.

From Tarkovsky, my favourite film always used to be Stalker, but I've also really come to love Mirror in the past few years. I first saw Stalker in a tender age by lending the VHS from a library, and somehow felt instant affinity. To the visuals, the message, everything in it. Such a delight.

Stalker was the first one I saw too - looks like it was 10 years ago... I was trying to find the Zone, using an old Russian film camera :) www.ipernity.com/doc/295425/15576041

I must see Solaris... my habit of saving the good things up can become a bit extreme... I have CDs by my favourite bands still unopened, and books unread, after years, and more years, waiting for some perfect future time. 'Deferred gratification' - no idea why. Like when you don't wear your good clothes because the day is never special enough. Then suddenly they don't fit any more.

Do you know Bela Tarr? You might like Satantango..?

Satantango is one of those films I have been meaning to see - maybe I should watch it this year! I'd love to see other films by Béla Tarr too.
