TARKOVSKY'S "MIRROR" (1975)

I was very impressed with the 3 other films by Andrei Tarkovsky that I have seen, and am eager to see this one. He made films that were visually stunning, unwind slowly and don't tie everything up in a neat bow at the end.

ABOUT THE FILM:
RELEASED IN: 1975 106 MINUTES DIRECTED BY: Andrei Tarkovsky

Introduction by filmmaker Lav Diaz

In Russian and Spanish with English subtitles.
A senses-ravishing odyssey through the halls of time and memory, Andrei Tarkovsky’s sublime reflection on 20th century Russian history is as much a film as it is a poem composed in images, as much a work of cinema as it is a hypnagogic hallucination. In a richly textured collage of varying film stocks and newsreel footage, the recollections of a dying poet flash before our eyes, dreams mingling with scenes of childhood, wartime, and marriage, all imbued with the mystic power of a trance. Largely dismissed by Soviet critics upon its release due to its elusive narrative structure, MIRROR has since taken its place as one of the titan director’s most renowned and influential works, a stunning personal statement from an artist transmitting his innermost thoughts and feelings directly from psyche to screen.
