The first film made by Soviet writer-director Andrei Tarkovsky while in exile from his native Russia, Nostalghia is an epic paean to homesickness. Russian researcher Andrei Gorchakov (Oleg Yankovsky) is adrift in memories and visions as he journeys through Tuscany. Written with frequent Michelangelo Antonioni collaborator Tonino Guerra, Nostalghia boasts one of Tarkovsky’s most iconic set pieces: a rustic peasant house amongst baroque ruins. Ingmar Bergman regular Erland Josephson also stars.
