Let Me See

About This Movie

So, "Let Me See" is this intriguing docudrama that dives into the realm of Tarkovsky's work, particularly using stills from "The Sacrifice." What’s fascinating here is that it presents this imagined final conversation between Tarkovsky and his cinematographer, Sven Nykvist. The atmosphere feels weighty, almost meditative, as they reflect on their art and the passage of time. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to absorb the gravitas of their dialogue. You really get a sense of their shared creative struggles and philosophical musings. It’s not flashy—practical effects are minimal, relying heavily on the power of dialogue and the still images, which creates this unique tension. Definitely a distinctive piece for those who appreciate the deeper layers of film.
