Our Special Subject for June is Wong Kar-wai's so-called "Love Trilogy": Days of Being Wild (1990), In the Mood for Love (2000), and 2046 (2004). Our discussion walks a tightrope of abstraction as we consider the philosophical implications of Wong's treatment of the theme of love: whether it can be consummated and how time, secrets, androids, and epistemology are involved. Proust, Tarkovsky, and of course FOTP Henry James get their due mentions.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:     DAYS OF BEING WILD (1990) [dir. Wong Kar Wai] 0h 29m 47s:    IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (2000) [dir.

Backrooms (2026) Directed by: Kane Parsons Written by: Will Sudick Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, Lukita Maxwell IMDB: Backrooms (2026) Episode Summary In this episode of Mindframes, Michael and Dave discuss Backrooms (2026), an A24 horror film directed by 20-year-old YouTube filmmaker and wunderkind Kane Parsons — believed to be the youngest person to ever direct a widely released feature film. The discussion covers the film's expansion of the internet liminal space phenomenon into a feature-length narrative, its Tarkovsky-esque atmosphere, and the remarkable work of cinematographer Jeremy Cox and production designer Danny Vermette in bringing 30,000 square feet of meticulously constructed sets to life. The conversation digs deep into why liminal spaces resonate so powerfully with contemporary audiences — and with Gen Z in particular — framing the backrooms not just as a horror setting but as a cultural symptom of a society in uneasy transition. Both hosts award the film five stars, with Michael calling it the best film he's seen this year.

"I want to underline my own belief that art must carry man's craving for the ideal, must be an expression of his reaching out towards it; that art must give man hope and faith. And the more hopeless the world in the artist's version, the more clearly perhaps must we see the ideal that stands in opposition to it—otherwise life would become impossible! Art symbolises the meaning of our existence." ― Andrei Tarkovsky, Sculpting in Time (1986) The Cold War Cinema team is joined by guest Taylor R. Genovese to discuss Andrei Tarkovsky's debut feature film, Ivan's Childhood (1962), a Soviet masterpiece about the Great Patriotic War and prime example of Thaw–era cinema. Taylor R. Genovese is an assistant professor of philosophy at Dutchess Community College in Poughkeepsie, New York. He has also been a filmmaker and photographer for over a decade. His multimodal and transdisciplinary research focuses on Marxism, historical memory, and borderlands. He is also an editor and board member at Iskra Books, a nonprofit scholarly publisher that releases original works of revolutionary theory, history, ecology, and art.  In this episode we discuss:  Andrei Tarkovsky's life and career The historical and political context of Ivan's Childhood Tarkovsky's aesthetic vision and theological concerns How the concept of "toska" shapes the sensibilities of the literary and cinematic arts in the Slavic world, including in Tarkovsky's films. The moving image representation of trauma and transcendence in Ivan's Childhood. The poetry of Andrei's father, Arseny Tarkovsky, and its influence on the filmmaker. The Soviet astethetics of Alexander Bogdanov (1873–1928), as articulated in his book Art and the Working Class, which Genovese translated from the Russian in 2022.

In this episode, we explore the haunting and deeply personal world of The Mirror, one of the most poetic and unconventional films ever made. Directed by visionary filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, the film blends memory, dreams, newsreel footage, and fragmented narrative to form a cinematic meditation on childhood, war, family, and the passage of time.Rather than following a traditional plot, The Mirror unfolds like a stream of consciousness. Through shifting timelines and recurring imagery, Tarkovsky reconstructs the inner life of a man reflecting on his past—his mother, his upbringing in rural Russia, the trauma of war, and the lingering emotional echoes of memory. The film becomes less a story and more an experience, inviting viewers to piece together meaning through atmosphere, symbolism, and personal reflection.We'll discuss how Tarkovsky's signature visual language—long takes, natural elements like wind, fire, and water, and carefully composed frames—creates a dreamlike space where memory and reality merge. We'll also explore the autobiographical aspects of the film, including the use of poetry by Tarkovsky's father, Arseny Tarkovsky, and how the director transforms personal memory into universal cinema.Join us as we unpack why The Mirror continues to challenge audiences and inspire filmmakers, and how its emotional logic reveals deeper truths about identity, nostalgia, and the fragile nature of memory.______________________________________________________Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

In the Season 4 finale, Justin and Chuck trek deep into the Zone to take on Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker, a haunting masterpiece that bends time, faith, and reason. They dig into the film's hypnotic rhythm, its shifts from grime to transcendence, and the strange pull of the Room at its center. Along the way, they draw eerie parallels to Annihilation (both book and film), debate the motives of the Stalker, the Writer, and the Professor, and swap stories from the film's grueling production. It's a journey through mud, miracles, and meaning, with a few laughs to keep you from losing your mind in the Zone.

Aw, the Tarkovsky's Tales retrospective has come to an end. Unfortunately, Andrei Tarkovsky did not live much past the release of his final film, 1986's The Sacrifice. He died from cancer as a result of the conditions of the area they film Stalker in. This film eerily enough showcases that he knew his time was […]

In this penultimate episode of the Tarkovsky's Tales series, the auteur leaves his homeland of Russia to shoot his new film, Nostalghia, in Italy. Prior to shooting the film he directed a documentary that charted his location scouting for the film, entitled Voyage In Time. Steven and I discuss both films in this episode and […]

Hola Gerardo aquí en otro episodio de Simplemente Yo; La selección de esta semana es Mirror, es una película dramática soviética de 1975 dirigida por Andrei Tarkovsky y escrita por Tarkovsky y Aleksandr Misharin.   Mirror de Andrei Tarkovski no es solo una película; es un viaje reflexivo al subconsciente personal y colectivo de la Unión Soviética. El episodio analiza el proceso de creación de la película, desde el rechazo inicial del guion hasta su estreno limitado debido a la interferencia política. Con la poesía del padre de Tarkovski y una cinematografía evocadora, Mirror construye una narrativa que explora temas de guerra, familia e identidad, manteniendo un retrato íntimo de los recuerdos y emociones del protagonista. Plot: Un hombre moribundo de cuarenta años recuerda su pasado: su infancia, su madre, la guerra, momentos personales y cosas que hablan de la historia reciente de toda la nación rusa. Espero que lo disfruten ;) Información adicional del podcast: Enlace del website official de Filmic Notion Podcast: https://filmicnotionpod.com/ Enlace a nuestra página de Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/446nl

On this episode of the podcast, host Dr Pasquale Iannone is joined by MSc Film Studies student Lauren Thompson to discuss one of the most critically acclaimed and influential films of all time. Andrei Tarkovsky's fourth feature Mirror (1975) weaves together moments in the life of dying poet in a bold, non-linear style. It's a deeply personal cinematic poem about memory, history and family, and 2025 marks its 50th anniversary.Lauren and Pasquale begin by offering their thoughts on Tarkovsky's work more broadly and then they turn to an extended discussion of Mirror, covering elements such as the use of editing and voiceover. The discussion rounds off with a consideration of the film's influence on successive generations of filmmakers, from Christopher Nolan to Claire Denis.

This episode explores the journey of filmmaker Vibeke Løkkeberg, who spent 52 years creating her film, “The Long Road to the Director's Chair,” which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival. Past cinema discussed includes Italian Neorealism and Andrei Tarkovsky.Vibeke's film highlights the struggles and achievements of women in the film industry, delving into the ongoing fight for equality in filmmaking, the challenges faced by female directors, and the impact of commercialism on artistic expression. The discussion also explores personal resilience, the significance of authenticity in storytelling, and the lessons learned throughout a lifetime of filmmaking.What Movies Are You Watching?Like, subscribe and follow us on our socials @pastpresentfeature

This is a preview of a bonus episode! Find the rest on our increasingly reasonably-priced patreon! ----- Neatly positioned between Transporter 1 and 2 in our release schedule here is a movie that frequently sees mention in conversations about the 'greatest movies ever made': Andrei Tarkovsky's 1966 biographical historical epic 'Andrei Rublev'.  Andrei Rublev, since canonised by the eastern orthodox church, was an icon painter who lived in the 1400s near Moscow. Little is known of his actual life, so what Tarkovsky gives us is instead a fictionalised biography set against the backdrop of a realistic 15th-century Russia.  ----- FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here.

Is the “Big White Button” actually in Tarkovsky's Stalker?No. It's my own thought experiment — a conceptual device that simplifies and sharpens the moral problem at the heart of Stalker. The Room in the film is ambiguous, mysterious, possibly dangerous. The Big White Button strips away that ambiguity: it gives you exactly what you truly desire, but only if that desire is genuine happiness for all, achieved through everyone's voluntary choices. If that's not your deepest desire… the button won't work._____________________________________________________2. Why do you present the Black Dog as female?Because in this framework, she forms a triad with The Wife and The Child — three figures who remain behind while the men go into the Zone. They embody a kind of grounded, enduring presence that contrasts with the abstract, moral-intellectual struggle of the Zone. There's no indication in the film about the dog's gender, but imagining her as female enriches the symmetry — and opens a symbolic space where the Dog is not just a witness, but a watcher, a remnant, possibly a guide._____________________________________________________3. What's the role of The Black Dog in your interpretation?She is both observer and continuity, left behind (perhaps by the alien Visitors) to see if anyone ever uses The Room — or the Button — wisely. She follows the men in the Zone but doesn't interfere. In the end, she returns with them and appears to settle in The Stalker's household. In my reading, she represents the quiet call to try again. She's the cosmic “maybe.”_____________________________________________________4. Are you saying Tarkovsky was wrong, or incomplete?No — more like: unfinished on purpose. Tarkovsky leaves Stalker unresolved because that's the only honest way to end a film about moral uncertainty. What I'm offering is not a critique, but an imagined continuation — a possible next step that replaces spiritual hope with logical clarity, and then exposes the paradox at the core of that clarity._____________________________________________________5. Is the White Button really possible, logically?It seems so, at first glance. But the contradiction creeps in when you examine the conditions: happiness for all + through voluntary choices. What if some choose differently? What if someone wants suffering or domination? That's where the thought experiment collapses into paradox. As I say in the video: “If you are God, you can make them free or happy — but not both.”_____________________________________________________6. So what's the “correct” answer? Should I press the Button or not?That's the wrong question — and the right one. The thought experiment is designed to reveal the limits of benevolence when paired with freedom. There may be no right answer. Or rather: maybe the only right answer is to try again — knowing full well that trying again is also tragic, and human, and holy.

In our 3rd part of this retrospective, we kind of begin again. Andrei Tarkovsky considers 1966's Andrei Rublev as his first film post a cinematic graduation of sorts. The 3 hour fictional biopic is one rich with thematics in philosophy, art, history, human nature and so much more. Tarkovsky's notable cinematic language and themes of […]

To merely label this as a podcast episode about the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War would be both misrepresentative and deeply reductive of what these three and a half (3.5) hours hold. What once started as a bit to unethically force our dear friend Chance Freytag to rewatch Civil War and watch the newest MCU entry, Captain America: Brave New World, with us evolved into something much grander. From Moby Dick to Stalker (1979, dir. Tarkovsky) to what a movie actually is and the impact it can have on someone's life, this episode is a sprawling piece of introspection and personal reckoning for Chris, Mateo, and Chance. This episode has more in common with an average telehealth appointment than a typical recorded MCU discussion. This release of this film was a pivotal moment in the moviegoing careers of all three of the fellas, and they reflect on everything that has transpired in the industry and their lives in film since. You don't have to have even seen the film to listen to the pre watch to this ep (clocking in at ~1.5hr itself). Come join us.

Join Breht, Amanda, and Evan as they delve into Soviet filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky's first feature film, Ivan's Childhood (1962). The episode starts with a lighthearted discussion about dream dinner guests, then moves into a detailed analysis of themes like innocence lost, war trauma, and symbolic elements such as trees and cobwebs. The hosts draw parallels between the film's depiction of war and ongoing humanitarian crises like those in Palestine. Part of their Tarkovsky series, this episode also touches on broader issues like moral responsibility toward children and insights from the guests' personal work.

How to Survive is now on Patreon! Support us at Patreon.com/HowtoSurvivePod to get every episode one week early, plus monthly bonus episodes and more. It's episode 287…and you mean more to me than any scientific truth. Solaris (1973) sees psychologist Kriss Kelvin dispatched to a space station orbiting the titular planet to see if the skeleton crew's reports of strange goings on and mysterious 4 metre tall babies are to be believed, or whether it's a simple case of space madness. While there, he is disturbed by the presence of unexpected ‘guests' on the station, not least the appearance of his wife Hari, who died a decade earlier. We talk about a Soviet science fiction classic, discuss what it means to be human, whether Solaris is just a planet-sized printer, draw up a cost/benefit analysis of firing antique oak bookshelves into space and finally find out the question on everyone's lips - can you eat a burger made out of neutrinos? Plus, a heartwarming story about Joe's young son being obsessed with going to the moon. All of which leads to one question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: Whenever we show pity, we empty our souls. Next time on the main feed it's more Space Madness with Aniara (2018), while over on the Patreon it's the turn of Twilight (2008), our monthly bonus film.
