The only Tarkovsky film I'd only seen once prior, and that may have been a good idea. Much of it struck me as so clunky and dull this time, though the dreamlike period of time between the apocalypse scare and the protagonist's visit to Maria's remains one of Tarkovsky's greatest achievements in fucking with time and space. For the second time I feel like nothing happened there but I know it was more than half an hour of the film and I'm left with a great atmospheric impression of it. The famous scene felt a bit anticlimactic this time but the very ending with the tree was surprisingly emotional for me.
