Csavar (Tarkovszkij Sztalkere a víz alatt)
The Turn of the Screw (Tarkovsky's Stalker Under the Water)

Summary/Abstract: Departing from the symbolic significance of the extraordinary circumstances in which Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky's chef-d'oeuvre Stalker (1979) was produced, destroyed and re-shot, the essay attempts to interpret the film based on the primary importance the element of water has in both the film itself and in the director's theoretical views on image-time. Exploring a possiblme way film, photography and orhodox iconography are linked by the hermeneutics of testimony, the essay goes on to close reading of the visual unity and of some crucial parts of Stalker.
