    That's absolutely right.

    And its bizarre...when I watch a Meades programme, I feel analytical and humanist and atheist...

    and then I watch Stalker or Rublev and I feel like Christianity IS the answer.

    The power of genius.

    That's what I was thinking. Tarkovsky's polaroid photos evoke similiar feelings. The big difference is Tarkovsky was a highly spiritual artist, whereas Meades is an emphatically secular art critic.

  • Anyone see the similarity to B.S. Johnson 'Fat man on a beach'

  • Thanks for posting this. I am in Japan and missing the wild beauty and wrecks of the Hebrides in storm soaked wind and salt bleached sun.

  • Tarkovsky would have loved those buildings in that setting...
