FILM DIRECTOR Tarkovsky’s polaroids

From Poemas del do wang

It is not widely known that Tarkovsky, whose films often seem to be composed as a montage of still photos, in a period effectively took photos with a Polaroid camera. These photos, taken at home and in Italy, in spite of all their technical imperfections bear witness to the same way of seeing and visual world as the great films.

Explains who wrote it and how it got to be made.

Lucky Number Slevin  – dialogue transcript

Again, for those looking for scripts/screenplays to study and learn from, this one is not a script but a writing down presumably from watching the film itself, of the dialogue as heard. There is no guarantee it is accurate qua original script. Handy to have to hand to refer back to those snatches of dialogue that seem to stand out from the rest of the film – a movie which was not of top rank, even if quite a ‘page turner’.
