Excerpts from the 1983 Italian documentary "A Voyage in Time" and the 2019 documentary "Andrei Tarkovsky: A Cinema Prayer".

Tarkovsky states that his only teachers in art have been Robert Bresson, Johann Sebastian Bach, Leo Tolstoy and Leonardo da Vinci. He also talks about the asceticism of Bresson's cinema. In the end, the Russian master argues that all of them are poets.
