Review
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Very Odd PresentationBy JamesRThis book is written in the style of a novel. Very strange. Tarkovsky is a fascinating character; but I find myself skimming through endless dialogue exchanges in order to get to the hard biographical/historical information.
