\tAndrei Tarkovsky: metaphysical landscapes, mystical visions, melancholy longings<\/B><\/p>\n

To mark the release of a box-set of his films and the Kosmos season of Russian science fiction at the BFI, we celebrate the work of Andrei Tarkovsky, with reviews of Solaris<\/I><\/A>, Stalker<\/I><\/A>, Mirror<\/I><\/A>, Ivan’s Childhood<\/I><\/A>, Andrei Rublev<\/I><\/A> and The Sacrifice<\/I><\/A>. Tarkovsky also inspires an exploration of Immaterial<\/I><\/A> films in our Online Movie column.<\/p>\n

Out at the cinema this month are gripping Spanish prison drama Cell 211<\/I><\/A>, fascinating documentary Bobby Fischer against the World<\/I><\/A>, charming Japanese comedy Sawako Decides<\/I><\/A>, Jean-Luc Godard’s Film Socialisme<\/I><\/A> and subtle drama Poetry<\/I><\/A> – read our interview with Korean master Lee Chang-dong<\/A>. We also have articles on Terrence Malick for Tree of Life<\/I><\/A> and on the summer’s programme of experimental Japanese cinema<\/A>. Romain Gavras<\/A> (he of M.I.A.’s \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcBorn Free’ video controversy) talks about his provocative first feature film, Our Day Will Come<\/I><\/A>. <\/p>\n

DVD releases include Shôhei Imamura’s vivid portrait of Japanese society’s underbelly, Pigs and Battleships<\/I><\/A>, Lars von Trier’s ground-breaking series The Kingdom<\/I><\/A>, the surreal Hungarian tale Szindb&#225d<\/I><\/A>, Dario Argento’s Tenebrae<\/I><\/A> and David Hemmings’s supernatural drama The Survivor<\/I><\/A>, while The Twilight Zone<\/I><\/A> is our first animated Comic Strip Review!<\/p>\n

In our Alter Ego column, writer Cressida Connelly<\/A> imagines herself as Dumbo and we have a feature on spy films<\/A> from the other side of the Iron Curtain. American garage pop combo Crystal Stilts<\/A> do a visual Film Jukebox and in the Blog, we report on the Edinburgh<\/A> and Sydney<\/A> festivals.<\/p>\n

PODCAST:<\/B><\/A>
\nSounds of the Living Dead:<\/B><\/A> As part of the launch of The End: An Electric Sheep Anthology<\/I> on Tuesday 7 June, DJ Robin the Fog performed a live rescore of Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated<\/I> (2009), adding a new experimental electronic \/ musique concr&#232te soundtrack to the animated version of George Romero’s classic zombie film.<\/p>\n
