In the 20 years following the death of Arseny and Andrei
Tarkovskies their names have spawn lots of legends,
provoked the publication of dozens of books, films,
TV programs. Fact and fiction blend into one inseparable
entity. In this strange and contradictory world the
reader and viewer needs a guide, an authorized
representative of the two great poets (even during his
lifetime Andrei was often referred to as a poet of
cinema) who would not let a false note slip, and would
not deceive even out of love for them. Many people laid
claim to this role but none could do more than their
daughter and sister Marina Tarkovskaya.
