Description
Summary:[...]he bases his discursive flow on musicologico-narrative analyses, demonstrating the complexity and diversity (but not unlimited interpretive freedom) of comprehending genreand stylistically diverse musical references. [...]the electronic score of the film Mirror (1975) is associated with a supernatural humanist presence, marked by a sonic abstraction that delves into the realm of existential Otherness and abjectness. [...]although the selected examples from classical music are crucial in expressing the protagonist's mental images and emotional depth, the author also attempts to determine how electronic music enhances the effect of his alienation. [...]the author has rightly identified Stalker as an important turning point in the director's sounding cinema, because instead of a somewhat predictable dichotomous relationship between classical and electronic music, it instead sheds new light on the nuanced interaction between the composite film score, human emotions and the socio-political climate. [...]the paradigm of the "Tarkovskian diegesis" is used to deepen the discussion of the narrative indulgence of applied music, and alternative options to the transcendental diegesis are considered using the example of interpretative diversity and hermeneutic flexibility.
