Andrei Tarkovsky

Cinema poet

Spooky fact:

In his youth, Andrei Tarkovsky consulted a clairvoyant so he could be in contact with the spirit of Boris Pasternak who told him "you will make seven films", to which Andrei replied "only seven?" and Boris to add "but good ones". The first shot of Tarkovsky's first film shows a child standing next to a young tree; the last shot of Tarkovsky's seventh's film shows a kid lying on the ground at the bottom of a dead tree. He died shortly after its completion, he didn't know he was sick at the time of the shooting.
