Wanda: All right. You will pick up your underwear four or more times each week, or it will be confiscated and displayed for guests during dinner parties. You will remember the dates of my birthday and our anniversary or have them tattooed on your chest in mirror writing so you can meditate on them while shaving. We will go out to dinner at least once during October, even though it is the sacred time of the baseball playoffs, and you will remain eligible to talk in 10-sec. bursts or more during Monday-night football.

And Tarkovsky is happy to display them in their dolors, at his pace, with all the spare majesty of his style. In the morning, Alexander celebrates his birthday by planting a tree with his son -- an ordinary bucolic tableau, captured in a ravishing shot that lasts almost ten minutes.
