## Description

A subtly ravishing passage through the halls of time and memory, this sublime reflection on twentieth-century Russian history by Andrei Tarkovsky (Stalker) is as much a poem composed in images, or a hypnagogic hallucination, as it is a work of cinema. In a richly textured collage of varying film stocks and newsreel footage, the recollections of a dying poet flash before our eyes, his dreams mingling with scenes of childhood, wartime, and marriage, all imbued with the mystical power of a trance. Largely dismissed by Soviet critics on its release because of its elusive narrative structure, Mirror has since taken its place as one of the 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.TWO-BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackAndrei Tarkovsky: A Cinema Prayer, a 2019 documentary about the director by his son Andrei A.

Review: The Mirror Reflects and Meditates Like Poetry - Deeply personal, nearly free-form, highly poetic and slowly paced...clearly this not for all tastes. Visually arresting dream imagery with a loosely structured stream of consciousness (surpassing a fractured narrative) is more of an intensely intimate experience, or experimental art film than a traditional movie. Those familiar with Russian master director Andrei Tarkovsky will immediately see symbolic style and visual motifs in this beautifully unique work of nostalgia and reflection. A clear marker for his films to come, haunting elements of his superb, hypnotic Nostalghia, Stalker, and his final work, The Sacrifice, are present. Best suited for fans of Russian cinema, although readers of poetry or novels by Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust etc. may be much more receptive and reap the rewards of this challenging film. Criterion Collection's two disc Blu Ray set restores the film's mesmerizing cinematography, and contains hours of documentaries and interviews.
Review: What an incredible movie. - Tarkovsky can be pretty challenging/opaque. Don't be intimidated by this one. I found this movie to be relatively easy to understand. Just don't try to think too hard or you'll end up either confused or disappointed. "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar" ~ Sigmund Freud. I find that when a film is extremely long, the time required to re-watch it is hard to come by. This one is just right. This is one of the most beautiful things (not just films) I've ever seen. I highly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mr .Tarkovsky
*by M***A on September 18, 2021*

Andrei Tarkovsky has to be looked at in a different light, once you realize he only made seven features and was hounded by the Russian censers almost his whole career. There seems to be even talk of him being "eliminated" by the KGB ! A treasure to the world, by any standard and there comes talk of that !! "Mirror" is and was a very personal film to Tarkovsky and once the back ground to this film [ which comes with a 2nd DVD ] and his life is seen, it breaks one's heart to know he passed away at just 54 years. That being said, the film that Criterion has presented is absolutely brilliant ... it might even be better in blue ray, but I have the standard DVD and its faultless. The film might be a challenge for some, but with parents and the willingness to see what is being shown and said, it will be well worth the time spent. All his films are works of "art", and he seems to have worked very hard to make that visible. This film is 46 years old and looks as if it were shot yesterday. Only a small hand full of director's have that ability. Give it a look see ... it might amaze you as it did me.
