PLEBS ON ABSOLUTE SUICIDE WATCH
>"Cinema is an art form which involves a high degree of tension, which may not generally be comprehensible. It’s not that I don’t want to be understood, but I can’t, like Spielberg, say, make a film for the general public—I’d be mortified if I discovered I could. If you want to reach a general audience, you have to make films like Star Wars and Superman which have nothing to do with art. This doesn’t mean I treat the public like idiots, but I certainly don’t take pains to please them. I don’t know why I’m always so defensive in front of journalists—I might need you one of these days, especially if my film gets the same kind of distribution as Angelopoulos’!"
Well there goes that Tarkovsky likes Star Wars meme parroted around to give SW some artistic merit.
I've never understood how someone could make films for the general audience, fandoms are insufferable.

Nowhere does he say that he doesn't like Star Wars. He probably liked Superman too.

Poor Tarkovsky. Really thought he was relevant didn't he. How adorable

Given that he's constantly spammed here him and Malick are probably the only "patrician" directors /tv/ knows

Because people like to eat and live in abodes.
Suffering for art is stupid.

To be fair they also mention Ozu, Wong Kar Wai, Satyjit Ray, Chantal Akerman, Tsai Ming Liang, Vertov, Antonioni, Bergman, Murnau, Dreyer, Varda, and Bresson pretty frequently.

This explains the driving scene in Solaris, he must have noticed the initial scenes were a little too stimulating

It's simple inference you dweeb. You think someone of his staunch standards would like that garbage?
