"Tarkovsky for me is the greatest, the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream."
Ingmar Bergman

He showed antipathy to the theories of early Soviet filmmakers and could often be heard disparaging the work of his contemporaries."
