Synopsis
An elegiac collection of sixty Polaroid photographs by the late Soviet film director Andrei Tarkovsky. ""Tarkovsky often reflected on the way that time flies and wanted to stop it, even with these quick Polaroid shots. The melancholy of seeing things for the last time is the highly mysterious and poetic essence that these images leave with us. It is as though Andrei wanted to transmit his own enjoyment quickly to others. And they feel like a fond farewell.""--Tonino Guerra, from the Introduction This beautifully produced book comprises sixty Polaroid photographs of Andrei Tarkovsky's friends and family, taken between 1979 and 1984 in his native Russia and in Italy, where he spent time in political exile.The size of the Polaroids is exactly as presented in the book, including the frame.

    First time buying from Ebay, I was stressing. But everything went smoothly and the seller communicated with me first thing. And the books looked brand new to me at least! Everything was in great condition. Packaged well. Thank you for making this stress less experience! My anxiety appreciates it. The price was reasonable too, since these books go for way higher. And that was stressing me out too. So I was very lucky to find this. Also, shipping went by quick and smoothly. Seriously.

    Excellent price for the item. The product description says "used" but it honestly looks brand new to me. The product was delivered very early on in its expected delivery date range so I wasn't waiting too long for it. The packaging was also well done so the item I bought was very secure. I love smooth transactions like this because it shows the experience the seller has.
