Andrey Tarkovsky: Sculpting in time
"If Sculpting in Time could be distilled to a single message, it would be this: Content and conscience must come before technique-for any artist in any art form."
"The allotted function of art is not, as is often assumed, to put across ideas, to propagate thoughts, to serve as an example. The aim of art is to prepare a person for death, to plough and harrow his soul, rendering it capable of turning to good"
