The Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky gathers, in collaboration with Olga Surkova, the reflections he reached over his career on each part of the craft: the script, the actors, the shots, the editing, the music. He also looks back on his films and how hard they were to shoot, with no systematic order: his ideas come from real working problems rather than from a prior theory.

Who it's for
For film lovers and film students, and for readers interested in aesthetics and in how an artist thinks about his own work.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
