IVAN'S CHILDHOOD

The first feature directed by the great Andrei Tarkovsky. This beautiful work, filled with poetic flourishes and an overriding sense of melancholy, immediately placed him in a position of leadership among the young Soviet filmmakers of his era. Set during WWII, a young orphan is enlisted as a spy for the Soviet army. The film contains many images that would later become Tarkovsky's trademark. "Approaches the avant-garde in its surreal rendition of the horrors of war" (David A. Cook, A History of Narrative Film). Winner of the Golden Lion at the 1962 Venice Film Festival. Also known as My Name Is Ivan and Childhood of Ivan. In Russian with English subtitles. Andrei Tarkovsky---USSR---1962---95 mins.

MIRROR (TARKOVSKY)

Tarkovsky's looking glass is not merely cracked but shattered, and we see the jagged, jumbled reflections of its shards, images of the director's childhood mixed with fragments of his adult life--a child's wartime exile, a mother's experience with political terror, the breakup of a marriage, life in a country home--all intermingled with slow motion dream sequences and stark newsreel. An essential film whose puzzles provide the key to this intense filmmaker's other works. In Russian with English subtitles. Andrei Tarkovsky---USSR---1974---106 mins.

SACRIFICE, THE (TARKOVSKY REMASTERED)

One of the most daring films of the late 20th century. Andrei Tarkovsky's epitaph is a dark and complex film about redemption and nuclear holocaust, filmed in exile from his native Russia in Sweden. "In Tarkovsky's elliptical and visionary world, the outcome is indeterminate, but the opening condition of fear and the later weight of prayer are as palpable as a roll of distant thunder. No one else can approach his sense of the Apocalyptic" (Chris Peachment, Time Out Film Guide). With Erland Josephson and cinematography by Sven Nykvist. In Swedish with English subtitles.
Andrei Tarkovsky---Sweden/France---1986---145 mins.

STEAMROLLER AND THE VIOLIN

Our Price: $24.95

|

Rescued from Russian film archives, this was Andrei Tarkovsky's diploma film for the Soviet State Film School. Before this video release, it was largely unseen even by some of the director's most fervent admirers. The story is a warm yet ironic one about the unlikely friendship between a young boy who loves to play the violin and a steamroller driver. In this simple yet deeply affecting early film, you can already appreciate the emerging talent of an artist who would go on to create some of the most profound works of world cinema. The film was co-written by Tarkovsky's fellow student, Andrei Konchalovsky. In Russian with English subtitles. Andrei Tarkovsky---USSR---1960---43 mins.
