a gorgeous piece about time and memory, very densely layered. don't think too much is my advice. i prefer it over tarkovsky's other films. tho almost plotless, it's never boring
A beautifully poetic and enigmatic Tarkovsky art film. It's either his greatest masterpiece or his greatest head-scratcher. Maybe both. Utterly unforgettable.
[font=Century Gothic]"Mirror" is an intriguing but not terribly coherent film from Andrei Tarkovsky.(If anybody knows what Yuri Zhary(Yuri Sventisov) who stutters early in the film has to do with the rest of it, please let me know.) What I think it is about is an unseen man(for ... read more
The Mirror has no apparent plot, and as such, it is one of Tarkovsky's most impenetrable films.
Gargoyles vs Harpies,or in the Tarkovsky syndrome "let's direct a film containing a stiffed embrace of Russian historical texts,nurtures,sanctimonies,scribbles which will make some point to everyone who decides to watch it".

It's said that Tarkovsky's films are as close as the cinema has come to poetry, and after only seeing one Tarkovsky film I have to agree.

I could probably make something of this if I gave it another chance, but I'm not sure I liked it enough to do so.
Not an easy film to watch but still an incredible film and very poetic also.
I can tell it's fancy and well-made, but I just couldn't figure out what exactly it was about until I read the synopsis after the fact. OK then, moving on.
A non-linear semi-autobigraphical journey through time and poetry. Your best bet is to turn off your critical mind, get rid of all expectations and let this film wash over you like water. Every scene is breathtakingly beautiful and, while people and stories are introduced and lef... read more
It is a film that is difficult to adequately describe -- and one I believe is impossible to process in one sitting. Full Review
Made in the tradition of Resnais and Bergman, The Mirror, Tarkovsky's personal meditation about his childhood, scandalized Soviet authorities with its self-reflexive tone and poetic visual style. Full Review
Cinema as art as cinema as art.
One of Tarkovsky's most impenetrable films, it nonetheless left me staggered and awestruck. Full Review
Tarkovsky shoots for the moon and for the most part succeeds in trying to make his personal story also a lesson in political art. Full Review
This is the sort of film that starts you off without a net and leaves you to find your own footing. Full Review
