"The work of art lives and develops, like any other natural organism, through the conflict of opposing principles. Opposites reach over into each other within it, taking the idea out into infinity. The idea of the work, its determinant, is hidden in the balance of the opposing principles which comprise it---thus 'triumph' over a work of art (in other words a one-sided explanation of its thought and aim) becomes impossible.“
Andrey Tarkovsky
