In the latest installment of The School Of Tarkovsky we're going to take a look at some more
moving imagery that may or may not have been an influence on more recent films (if you haven't checked out the first entry make sure to check it out here).
enjoy...
Not only are both films below semi-meditative coming of age films, the but imagery of a child holding an apple or looking down well is very similar (it should be noted that The Pink Smoke's John Cribbs' once called
The Spirit Of The Beehive "Tarkovsky For Kids")

Ivan's Childhood / The Spirit Of The Beehive |
Like The Spirit Of The Beehive, The 400 Blows is another coming of age story with similar shots to Ivan's Childhood...

Ivan's Childhood / The 400 Blows |
There's obviously no way of knowing is Rian Johnson is a Tarkovsky fan but this shot from Brick is way too similar to the above shot in
Andrei Rublev

Andrei Rublev / Brick |
Same with Tarkovsky's
Stalker...

Stalker / Brick |
 |
Ivan's Childhood / The Headless Woman |
This shot from
The Mirror always reminded me of
Ringu/The Ring
 |
The Mirror / Rungu |
 |
The Mirror / Sudden Manhattan |
 |
Andrei Rublev / Post Tenebras Lux |
 |
Nostalghia / Tree Of Life |
As I've stated in previous entries - Claire Denis did work on Tarkovsky's films in the past so perhaps some of that rubbed off on her (or maybe not)

Andrei Rublev / Trouble Every Day |
