塔可夫斯基論藝

為甚麼有些影評讀著就是很 dry ...

"Works of criticism tend to approach their subject in order to illustrate a particular idea, far less often, unfortunately, do they start off from the direct, living, emotional impact of the work in question. For an unclouded perception you have to have an outstanding capacity for original, independent, 'innocent' judgement. Generally people look for familiar examples and prototypes for confirmation of their opinion, and a work of art is assessed in relation to, or by analogy with, their private aspirations or personal position. On the other hand, of course, in the multiplicity of judgements passed upon it, the work of art in its turn takes on a kind of inconstant and many-faceted life of its own, its existence enhanced and widened. "

Andrei Tarkovsky, Sculpting in Time
