Krzysztof Kieslowski
“Andrey
Tarkovsky was one of the greatest directors of recent years. He's dead, like
most of them. That is, most of them are dead or have stopped making films. Or
else, somewhere along the way they've irretrievably lost something, some
individual sort of imagination, intelligence, or way of narrating a story.
Tarkovsky was certainly one of those who hadn't lost this. Unfortunately, he
died. Probably because he couldn’t live any more. That’s usually why people
die. One can say it’s cancer or a heart attack or that the person falls under a
car, but really peoplle usually die because they can’t go on living.”
