Mirror
Reflecting on life in your final moments. So much emotion. These shots are all beautiful. I’m taken away and just mesmerized really. This is a film you feel instead of understanding. So personal for Tarkovsky and this being my first of his is really weird. Just going through memories and life’s moments and reflecting it’s just so beautiful. There’s no words or emotion for this film to get across what it is because it really is a poem. I always find this idea of our memories so interesting and the surrealism in those memories and dreams of the past really just blow me away.
The art form almost peaked in 1975 with Mirror and idk how this isn’t just the most celebrated foreign film ever. Honestly should be the most celebrated film. I’m sorry if this all feels disoriented but it’s just so great and unexplainable lmao.
