A haunting, enigmatic film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, his first made outside of the Soviet Union. It is a portrait of a misanthropic poet, Gorchakov (Oleg Yankovsky): an expatriate in Italy who is researching the life of an exiled Russian composer who committed suicide. Gorchakov finds himself crippled by a melancholy nostalgia for his Russian homeland and memories of his wife and children.
At St. Catherine's pool - a sacred site near a Tuscan village - Gorchakov encounters local mystic and pariah, Domenico (Erland Josephson). who offers Gorchakov a glimpse of redemption through his belief that if one can
travel across the pool with a lit candle. one can save all of humanity. Nostalghia won the Grand Prix de Creation and the International Critics Prize at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival.
