In this book Nariman Skakov explores the phenomenon of spatio-temporal lapse in Tarkovskyrsquo;s cinema - from Ivanrsquo;s Childhood (1962) to Sacrifice (1986). He argues that dreams; visions; mirages; memories; revelations; reveries and delusions are phenomena which present alternative spatio-temporal patterns; they disrupt the linear progression of events and create narrative discontinuity. Each chapter is dedicated to the discussion of one of Tarkovskyrsquo;s seven feature films and; in each; one of these phenomena functions as a refrain. Skakov discusses the influence of the flow of and lapses in space and time on the viewerrsquo;s perception of the Tarkovskian cinematic universe. He opens and closes his original and fascinating book on Tarkovskyrsquo;s cinema by focusing on the phenomenon of time that was discussed extensively by the filmmaker in his main theoretical treatise Sculpting in Time; as well as in a number of interviews and public lectures.
