Andrei Tarkovsky: A Life on the Cross by Lyudmila Boyadzhieva is an intimate portrayal of the renowned Soviet filmmaker’s life, struggles, and artistic legacy.

This biography delves into Tarkovsky’s complex character, his ideological battles, and the price he paid for his genius.

Lyudmila Boyadzhieva’s Andrei Tarkovsky: A Life on the Cross offers a compelling and insightful look into the life of one of cinema’s most revered directors. Tarkovsky, best known for films like Andrei Rublev and Stalker, faced constant tension with Soviet authorities, who saw him as an outsider despite his law-abiding, moderate demeanor.

Through Boyadzhieva’s sensitive portrayal, listeners gain a deeper understanding of Tarkovsky’s internal and external battles, his dedication to his craft, and the personal sacrifices that came with his towering talent. This biography is essential for film enthusiasts and those interested in the complex relationship between art and ideology.
