1983, Andrei Tarkovsky, Italy/Soviet Union, 125 mins. Italian and Russian with English subtitles. Filmed in Italy while isolated from his native Russia, Andrei Tarkovsky's NOSTALGHIA is a brooding, darkly poetic vision of exile. Russian researcher Andrei is working in Italy where he becomes obsessed with the Botticelli-like beauty of his translator Eugenia, as well as with the apocalyptic ramblings of a self-destructive wanderer named Domenico. Part of Andrei Tarkovsky: Complete Retrospective (August 29–September 30, 2026).
