Thanks mate
Boomers can navigate screens like THIS no problem in order to slurp down the next utter bullshit right-wing-tinged AI slop but can't manage to understand that waving a card in front of the screen (not the card reader) without having pressed the giant "pay now" button on a streamlined self-checkout system will not, in fact, mean they have paid for their items. And then they will be rude to you about it
Solaris (1972), dir. Andrei Tarkovsky
Tarkovsky cinematically composes his wonderful biography of the great Russian icons painter like an altarpiece made by 8 crucial episodes in his life in which two fundamental motives emerge: the Artist's role in the society and the complex relation between Power and People. The film, marvelously photographed in B&W, progresses through stunning plan-sequences and blatantly signals from the very beginning (the fly of ancient Efim who rides his rudimentary hot air balloon "to see the world from above") and the end (Rublev's icon "The Trinity", al last shown in glorious full colors, and the peaceful horses in the countryside) the successive developments of Tarkovsky's cinema, so hermetic and sublime.
