Tarkovsky's films always have good dialogues about life, and an interesting philosophy in relation to spirituality, but I don't think they are masterpieces, it seems to me that Tarkovsky was a good philosopher who made films, but he was not good at directing, his films have too many pseudo-intellectual scenes that try to elevate the films to masterpieces, but that do not give any meaning to the film, and make it very artificial, very boring to see.
Tarkovsky's films have an interesting existential component and good poems, but that's it, this film is very boring. Takovsky has a cinema style that is not objective, it is difficult to stay focused, because the story often loses itself in irrelevant dialogues. I liked Stalker, but his films have too many scenes where nothing useful for the development of the narrative happens.
What I like most about David Lynch's surreal thrillers, is his ability to make films with a deep look into parallel stories and perspectives around the real plot, which gives us clues about the central events of the film and makes us wonder how it happened, resulting in a different film for each person who watches it, being open to personal interpretation. This movie have a similar Mulholland Drive concept, we have the delusion of the main character in the first person about himself and his life, it's a trip inside human psyche, a careful mix of cognitive dissonance between reality, distorted memories and fantasy.
