Happy birthday to the visionary Andrei Tarkovsky! Cheers to another year of capturing dreams, suspending reality, and making puddles unusually philosophical. From sheer cinematic poetry in "Solaris" and nostalgic contemplation in "Mirror," your work continues to be timelessly relevant—though admittedly baffling relatives at every family movie night.Your extraordinary ability to redefine cinema with enduring masterpieces is truly inspirational. Wherever you're filming these days—in space stations or enchanted forests—we hope this year brings even greater inspiration, fewer production challenges involving stubborn actors or misbehaving fog machines, and hopefully more sunny weather (unless rain suits your creative purposes). Happy Birthday!
