La représentation du paysage dans l’oeuvre d’Andrei Tarkovski: etude critique du film stalker

الملخص EN

The landscape has occupied a preponderant place in artistic creation moving into pictorial art from the middle ages to the era of modern painting.

it takes different forms to be symbolic, metaphorical or allegorical.

cinema is an activity where the image is important; the landscape will serve as a backdrop to bring an aesthetic touch without moving away from the reality.

for moviemaker Andrea Tarkovski, landscape is a crucial element in all his work aiming to mark his concern for realism.

Tarkovsky in his film stalker, adapted from a science fiction novel, approached the landscape from a purely realistic angle.

he switched from black and white to color in a smooth and gentle way despite the dramatic atmosphere of the scenes.

the director adds to the realistic landscape the elements of nature such as water, fire and fog.

the role of landscape in cinema is as important as other film elements; therefore, it should not be dissociate.
