Italy, insanity and images

Nostalghia (1983)

Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky this film stars Oleg Yankovsky, Domiziana Giordano and Erland Josephson. A Russian writer in Italy researching the life of Pavel Sosnovsky becomes intrigued by a local man who seems to be mentally ill.

Beautifully shot and with some lovely locations this film is a feast for the eyes. Unfortunately I found the plot to be incredibly slow and somewhat impenetrable. While I could enjoy the look of the film the content eluded me.


4/5
