And, indeed, I will ask on my own account here, an idle question: which is better—cheap happiness or exalted sufferings?

Andrei Tarkovsky (Film) Photography
Andrei Arsenyevich Tarkovsky was a Soviet and Russian filmmaker, theatre director, writer, and film theorist. He is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential directors in the history of Russian and world cinema.
