Through film clips, journal entries, and personal musings, renowned French filmmaker Chris Marker pays homage to his friend and colleague Andrei Tarkovsky. Through close readings of Tarkovsky's films—including rare scenes from his student film (an adaptation of Hemingway's The Killers) and a practically unknown production of Boris Godunov—Marker draws parallels between Tarkovsky's tumultuous life and his films. Personal anecdotes from Tarkovsky's writings—from his prophetic meeting with Boris Pasternak (author of Dr. Zhivago) to an encounter with the KGB on the streets of Paris (he thought they were coming to kill him)—pepper the film. With behind-the-scenes footage of Tarkovsky obsessively commanding his entire crew for his final film, The Sacrifice, and candid moments of the director with his friends and family, bedridden but still editing the film, One Day in the Life of Andrei Arsenevich is a personal and loving portrait of the monumental filmmaker. “The best single piece of Tarkovsky criticism I know of, clarifying the overall coherence of [Tarkovsky’s] oeuvre while leaving all the mysteries of his films intact.” – Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader.
