Reviews
The Mirror (1975) IMDb
Creators |
Andrei Tarkovsky (director). |
Categorization |
Art with heavy focus on the audiovisual, but also incorporating a thin plot co-written by the director, and extradiegetic poetry by the director’s father. |
Subject |
Your guess is as good as mine. The general consensus seems to be that a dying soldier recalls his life. |
Commentary |
The formalists of the 1920s, with their ideas about montage and so forth, could have used this single film to greatly expand upon the mystical property they called “the cinematic”. |
