A new video essay displays the visual and thematic similarities of the two cinematic titans.
Video essayist Vugar Efendi has put together this montage to showcase the similarities between two of cinema's most celebrated filmmakers, Stanley Kubrick and Andrei Tarkovsky.
In Efendi's words, "I wanted to look at the two most influential and most respected artists in the world of cinema: Stanley Kubrick and Andrei Tarkovsky. Both of them have defined and pioneered the cinematic language, and propelled cinema forward as an art form. This short highlights their own unique cinematic style, in which however they share to some extent, the same philosophical and thematic undertones in their filmography."
