Tarkovsky, who does not usually drink, got completely drunk and cut off the speakers at the restaurant, then began singing the theme of Seven Samurai at the top of his voice. I joined in, eager to keep up. At that moment, I was very happy to be on Earth. - Akira Kurosawa
In this latest installment of The School Of Tarkovsky we'll be looking at some more "forced comparisons" (Carlos Reygadas is on record numerous times naming Tarkovsky as a major influence) and "reaches" (Lars Von Trier was once quoted as saying he wanted to be like Tarkovsky early on in his career).
