In the Soviet Union of his era, where the collective was of the utmost importance, Tarkovsky dared to create his own provocatively original style of filmmaking. His nonrealistic, highly charged images continued to be a source of inspiration-not only for a new generation of filmmakers but also for poets, musicians, and painters-even after he defected to the West, where Nostalgia was shot in Italy in 1983. His last film, The Sacrifice, was filmed in Sweden with Ingmar Bergman's collaborators. This volume collects his great works, including Solaris, Mirror, Stalker, Nostalgia, The Sacrifice, and Ivan's Childhood. These scripts deepen and expand our understanding of Tarkovsky's films, for they map out the early stages and personages (some never embodied on the screen) and help to clarify the obscure characters, images, and sequences that are so central to this great filmmaker's unique work. Filmography Andrei Tarkovsky died in Paris in 1986. William Powell previously translated The Selected Writings of Sergei Eisenstein. He lives in London. Review: The best of it's kind - Before going to see a Shakespeare play, I always read the play first, as doing so always enhances the experience. I never thought I'd say that about a film maker; but there was never another film maker like Tarkovsky. Reading these scripts, which are both highly cerebral and intensely visual, gives one the rare, intimate pleasure of watching genius at work: and the unproduced scripts will give the imaginative reader a rich experience. To my experience, only Antonioni's That Bowling Alley on the Tiber matches this work for sheer cinematic brilliance in book form. This won't be an inexpensive purchase for anyone. But it is a precious one. Review: Tarkovsky's screenplays finally reprinted - First, this collection does NOT include the Andrei Rublev script, printed separately and in great need of a reprint. Here you will find all of Tarkovsky's other scripts, including two unreleased ones. Scripts contain some omitted and alternate scenes. Indispensable for the Tarkovsky fan. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,285,930 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #722 in Screenwriting (Books) #16,058 in Performing Arts (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 47 Reviews | ## Images ![Collected Screenplays - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51zfoJzgegL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best of it's kind *by P***I on October 8, 2017* Before going to see a Shakespeare play, I always read the play first, as doing so always enhances the experience.

Here you will find all of Tarkovsky's other scripts, including two unreleased ones. Scripts contain some omitted and alternate scenes. Indispensable for the Tarkovsky fan. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ magic *by S***A on September 29, 2000* Just saw The Stalker last night. Possibly the best movie I've seen in my life. Tarkovsky is a master of magic/symbolism/the human condition. No wonder he was Bergman's favourite. I really look forward to reading this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://czech.desertcart.com/products/8724427-collected-screenplays](https://czech.desertcart.com/products/8724427-collected-screenplays) --- *Product available on Desertcart Czech Republic* *Store origin: CZ* *Last updated: 2026-11-08*
