“It rains a lot in Andrej Arsen’evič Tarkovskij’s films, as in Akira Kurosawa’s — one of the signs, no doubt, of the Japanese sensibility he mentioned so often. And like the Japanese, a physical relationship to nature. There’s nothing more earthy, more carnal than the work of this reputed mystical filmmaker — maybe because Russian mysticism is not that of Catholics terrified by nature and body. Among the Orthodox, nature is respected, the Creator is revered through his creation, and in counterpoint to the characters, each film knits a plot between the four elements — sometimes treated separately, sometimes in pairs. In The Mirror, a simple camera movement brings together water and fire…the opposite path in Solaris.”Une Journée d’Andrei Arsenevitch (One Day in the Life of Andrei Arsenevich [2000, Chris Marker]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/9755a454bcd37c20862ea7b475ff9b2f/tumblr_mmsbldFeDq1r0btqdo1_500.jpg)
