Best sequence shot ever - Tarkovsky

Just watched Lars Von Trier's 'Antichrist' which is dedicated to Tarkovsky.

Although I have not seen this film, judging from this clip, it's clear that Tarkovsky was a direct influence on the film.

Four more screenings of the award-winning doc 'Meeting Andrei Tarkovsky' in LA: Monica 4-Plex, Santa Monica (Feb. 6,7 at 11AM) and Playhouse 7, Pasadena (Feb. 6,7 at 11AM).  See you there!

You must be a punk kid that doesn't understand shit. Your gayness will get your shit pushed in someday in prison, where you will undoubtedly end up. You can't spell for shit, either.

Best one-shot Sequence ever? Well, its up there, thats for sure. But watch the backwards steadycam sequence on the beach from "Atonement" [9 minutes] and tell me that doesn't beat this.

It doesn't beat this, nor does it beat the 6 minute sequence from the end of The Sacrifice. Fuck Atonement.

It doesen't.

Clearly, you haven't seen "Russian Ark", "Liberation" or "War and Peace" (Bondarchuk) yet...they have even more bombastic scenes than "Atonement". But this scene is totally different from those shots, its a big metaphor, the main verse of a poem, movie poetry.

I like more some other sequences , but the one you say is not even close to this one, tarkovsky didn't film scenes, he painted scenes on film

Atonement do not create the same magical atmosphere as The Mirror and Tarkovskys films

Obviously the difference between existentialism and transcendentalism is lost on some. You're comparing the third dimension to the fourth. The full weight of Tarkovsky can not be fathomed unless you realize it's rife with enigmatic symbolism. Context, context, context. Christ, you're comparing a scene from the Mirror with that of a sappy, Jane Austenesque flick?! In the words of John McEnroe, you can not be serious!
