Andrei Tarkovsky's and Tonino Guerra's documentary, Voyage in Time (1983), takes a look at Tarkovsky's journey in Italy when he prepares to film his second last film, Nostalgia (1983). The documentary is shot and edited in a way that is similar to Tarkovsky's films: long takes, a calm pace and lovely imagery. Sometimes the camera wanders elsewhere while Tarkovsky and Guerra continue their discussion. The film's fragmented yet fascinating take on Tarkovsky's journey makes this documentary a worthwhile production for the director's fans. His speeches about cinema and his influences, his exploration of possible shooting locations and his interest in Guerra's poetry make this film surprisingly profound - even when it is considered that the subject is Tarkovsky.
Score: 10 out of 10
