Hi! I've been seeing Tarkovsky gifsets for years and each time I'm like "oh I should check that out it looks like it will rewire my brain for the better or possibly more insane" but I haven't made the time yet. Do you have any recommendation for order and/or Where to Start with his body of work?
hi dear!! it's so so great seeing people get into his movies and i love how i'm gaining something of a tarkovsky blog reputation >:) i'm by no means an expert but i'll do my best to give you what my impression is of the best order to watch and get into his filmography. this might turn a bit long but i hope you'll find it useful as i'm enjoying writing out my thoughts on this.
one first very important thing and something that i think i lot of people struggle with when trying to watch tarkovsky's movies, is that we (the average cinema goer) are used to looking for a certain kind of stories, narrative conventions, a certain set of formal elements (pacing, dialogue, cuts) in a movie. all these are used in, for example, a lot of popular cinema to anchor the viewer in a known way of storytelling and then build the story of the film on this premises (very much in the way of oral poems or fairytales if you think about it). the viewer engages with the story through his understanding of this structure.
what i feel instead unsettles and leaves people uncertain while watching tarkovsky, and especially his most experimental movies ('mirror' most of all) is that he rejects or adapts these conventions to his idea of an artistically expressive film. the viewer unfamiliar with a more experimental style of movie making is understandably confused by the lack of the familiar structure. but, and this is one of the things i personally admire a lot of tarkovsky's movies, his style of storytelling is not born of some complicated intellectual conception but it is emotional. this means that imo very basically his movies should not be so much analyzed as experienced and felt. whenever a person starts out with a tarkovsky movie, i feel like giving this piece of advice: don't overthink, don't think about the fact that you're watching a world-famous Difficult Complicated Russian filmmaker, but look at what you are seeing on screen and try to let your feeling and imagination run free, experience the associations image, sound and dialogue bring out in you.
having said this (if you're still reading thank you for the attention), i'd say there are three main ways one could get into his filmography.
the one i went for, very basically, is watching whatever movie i felt compelled to watch at the time, following what felt emotionally resonant. i emphasize this because i think watching any movie at the right time in your life makes the experience much deeper, but also because i feel tarkovsky movies in particular need to felt to be liked and better understood. also they're all stand alone and you won't loose any understanding from skipping around.
for a more structured approach, i'd suggest deciding based on a distinction we can make between his films that are in some way genre movies and some others that are more experimental and defy genre definitions. one of the difficulties of watching tarkovsky i think is tunining into his particular mood, his vision of the world: a very slow, religious almost, lonely and soft emotional landscape. i'd suggest that if you feel that this mood resonates with you, you should start from the more experimental movies (stalker, mirror, nostalghia, the sacrifice). if instead you feel that you'd need some gentle approaching to that, i'd suggest starting out with the ""genre"" films (ivan's childhood, andrei rublev, solaris), with the genre that you find more to your taste.
hope this wasn't overly long and it'll be helpful!! happy watching and i really hope you'll love his movies!!

✉   ⸻   comfortable intimacy send by,  @havfayth
[ behind ] sender comes up to receiver from behind and wraps their arms around their waist - jing yuan to blade
Tumblr media
fugitive observes bustling night life below him from his spot on the balcony.  the general's abode has provided him shelter in time of need.  being able to avoid detection from people who wish to put him behind bars again.  though there is no longer an arrest warrant active,  he still found himself wandering back to this very place when news about jing yuan reached his ears.  despite trying to look indifferent about it,  his body had moved on his own, wanting to see him.  ' you can go see him if you want to, '  blade did not need to be told twice. 
his own death is something that has never frightened him,  even when he was still a mortal.  now,  little has changed.  the peace of it is something he has come to look forward to.  jing yuan's death, however, was something that he refused the possibility of.  not that he would deny him this,  but rather because he believed it to never be an option.  to him the man is a steadfast beacon. never wavering.  no matter what would happen he would always remain there as unlikely as it seemed.  perhaps unfair too.  but it is true, if he were to be gone it would feel off : leave a gap in his heart that can never be mended ever again. 
but the fear is unwarranted for now.  he checked him not once, not twice,  but thrice for any injuries the healers might have missed.  all without him knowing of course.  they put him on some strong medication ( probably also to ensure he would remain in bed )  so it gave him plenty of time to inspect him. 
with his own worries having been eased ever so slightly he knew that he could leave  —  should leave.  jing yuan would be none the wiser of his visit and that would be for the best. 
Tumblr media
❝     you should in bed.     ❞   blade speaks,  closing his eyes when he felt strong arms wrap around his waist.  the cool breeze being replaced by the general's warmth who just rose from his bed.  it's a gesture he has grown unaccustomed to,  but he relishes in the warmth a bit too much.  turning around in the embrace,  his gaze meets that of his pseudo lover before giving his sleeping robes a light tug.  ❝     you will catch a cold.     ❞   he warns. 
despite having just woken up,  jing yuan has his rebuttal at the ready,  as expected of him.  ' i have been confined to my bed all day.  some stretches are required at this age. '  a light smile tugs at the corner of blade's lips.  jing yuan might use his age as a counter (  though then again if he is an old man,  than what is he? )  but those kind of responses are exactly like the ones he used to give back then.  he might have matured with age,  but he never shedded that youthful cheekiness of his.  
still, half opened robes and bare feet are hardly a good combination when someone is feeling healthy let alone when someone is recovering from injury.  there is only so much this embrace can shield him from.   ❝     i don't see you doing any stretches,     ❞   he retorts only to be met with that cheeky gaze,  ' these are special kind of stretches. '  blade can only roll his eyes at that in defeat before he is spun around by him. gazing over the luofu and allowing themselves this moment before it all of this has to fall apart again.  but before it has a chance to do so,  jing yuan breaks the silence once more ' say gege, ' 
❝     if i do get sick, will you take care of me again ?     ❞
❝     don't push your luck.     ❞
they both knew the answer to that question.

babe who is going to talk shit with me at social events to cope. Alternatively, whomst is going to wine and rant with me after a shit day.
You are going to want Mason and Carson, for sure. Mason likes stinking their fingers in pies they shouldn’t and Carson is stellar at gossip. He somehow has dirt on everyone in town, it’s a little disconcerting. Avery as well, but they just like to complain in general.
I don’t think Carson would whine, Mason would for sure match your energy and honestly Sloan loves any chance to complain when the focus isn’t on himself. Again, Avery loves to complain, so depending on the situation they might be willing to listen. It just, has to be worth their time lol
