Religious Films

I went on a Tarkovsky binge a few years ago, but I didn't know he was a Christian.Weird: ever since that binge whenever I hear a dog barking in the far distance I think of his films.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

I vaguely recall that Tarkovsky didn't work in Russia, went to some other country to make his films. Possibly Sweden? He's been compared to Ingmar Bergman. Yes I think they speak Swedish in his films, certainly not Russian.ABE: Wikipedia says he worked in Italy on a couple films and did "The Sacrifice" in Sweden, that he vowed never to return to the Soviet Union."Orthodox" is a simple English word that means "Right or true teaching," just as the word "catholic" means "universal." Just because some organization uses a word in its title doesn't mean it's been taken out of circulation and nobody else can use it.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

I don't know enough about the Orthodox churches to have an opinion about their teaching. I know the papal system is pagan and not Christian although I also know that individual Catholics may be Christians. The same may be true for the Orthodox but as I said I don't know enough about their official doctrine.

I may not have seen Solaris.
