Evil Andrei Tarkovsky Be Like

EVIL ANDREI TARKOVSKY BE LIKE WHY IS THIS SCENE SO LONG? IT'S ALREADY SERVED ITS PURPOSE. LET'S CUT IT SHORT, WE DON'T WANT TO BORE THE AUDIENCE.

A grainy black-and-white close-up of filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky is captioned as an “evil” version of himself complaining that a scene is too long and should be shortened. The joke reverses Tarkovsky’s reputation for slow, meditative films and long takes, imagining him making a commercially minded decision to avoid boring the audience.
