I agree, but I wonder if viewers who have been brought up on the superhero genre where something is blowing up every minute or two could even watch a Tarkovsky film. Whenever I try to introduce people to Tarkovsky's films I warn them up front that they need to completely change their sense of time - they need to view these films as meditations, they need to slow way down. And even with these suggestions up front, it's still difficult for many modern viewers to make it through.
