The cinema of Andrei Tarkovsky has the unique property of intertwining the familiar with the foreign, thus creating intermediary spaces between the real and the imaginary.

At the core of the director's poetic vision lies the concept of the uncanny, which is expressed in space through the use of specific cinematic techniques. By conducting a stylistic analysis of his films, the book highlights how Tarkovsky's cinema constructs spatial qualities that open new perspectives in cinematic realism and propose new ways of representing reality.

The audience who wish to gain a deeper understanding of Tarkovsky's films will find here another entry into his multi-layered and always open to interpretations work. Perhaps today, despite the widespread loss of meaning that we experience, Tarkovsky is more relevant than ever.
