'Tarkovsky's Dreams: A Supercut'

Getting ready for an upcoming Tarkovsky retrospective, found this on the Archive.org. 

Don't know who did this or why or what it is really, but like the best of Tarkovsky, it is hypnotic for no reason at all. It is a reminder that Tarkovsky was as good as anyone in the history of cinema at pointing a camera at some random object and making it look cool. His mastery of sound design, too, is among the greatest of all time. His films are compulsively watchable, even when they make no sense at all--indeed, what good is "sense" when you have all this in front of you? Looking forward to revisiting his films.
