Mirror

To be honest this is one of the most unbelievable things I have ever witnessed. I am at a loss of words and stared at the credits for a good 5 minutes. The story being non-linear confused me a little bit but the end serving as a reflection of actions throughout his life brought it together. For being my first Tarkovsky this was a spectacle and I’ve heard it’s not even his best! To me this was cinema at its purest and I don’t really know what else to say besides its poetry in motion. The scene where the shed is burning may just be the most beautiful scene I have ever scene. Many of the scenes looked like paintings and the washed green looked so good. This will definitely be in my top 4 at some point in the near future.
