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.

    • Tarkovsky presents a shattered “Mirror” reflecting Alexi’s experience
Review Image by Wayne Klein

Andrei Tarkovsky has a small body of work compared to some of his peers. We need to treasure the films all,the more because of it. “Mirror” remains one of his most bold and daring narratives—it’s is disjointed compared to a traditional narrative but the themes of memory, time and history. Told from the view point of Alexi as a child, as a teenage and adult covering his experiences from the 1930’s to WWII Russia and during the Cold War of the 1970’s. Be warned that his film plays with time and narrative with a very loose elliptical story much as Terrance Malick did with his later films but this film was made in 1975 using both the influence of the French New Wave and other experimental films as a template to build Tarkovsky’s own compelling story. The Criterion looks very nice with a 2K restoration from the original negative. Considering the source condition, the colors are strong (keep in mind that the director used various film stocks and styles for each era so there is variability to the look of the the film). Audio also sounds quite nice with a robust mono track. Subtitles are provided in English. The special features include a documentary “Andre Tarkovsky: A Cinema Prayer” on the second Blu-Ray disc, “The Dream in the Mirror” a new documentary on the making of the film and Tarkovsky. There’s also an interview (new) with composer Eduard Artemev along with a 2007 doc on Tarkovsky and screenwriter Alexander Misharin. Rounding out the extras are an excellent essay on the film as well as the original proposal from 1068 by Tarkovsky and Misharin that became “Mirror”. The bad for this set is that Criterion has once again resorted to cheap cardboard packaging for the film. I hate the cardboard packaging s it doesn’t stand up to wear and tear. They really need to discontinue it. A classic film from Tarkovsky, this film remains as fragment as a shattered mirror in reflecting the experiences of Alexi the main character. It ism’t an easy journey but it is a great film. ... show more

    • An Uninteresting Film (Made In Mid-Career) By An Interesting Director
Criterion Collection did a magnificent job, as they so often do, in restoring this Russian film from half a century ago. Unfortunately, this isn't a film--it is an idea for a film. This is a gathering of scenes, sometimes haunting and beautiful ones, thrown together with lengthy (often) tedious sequences of dialogue and action. It is unclear why the director thought anyone, other than a student of cinema history, would be willing to part with their money and nearly two hours of their life in order to view this cryptic collection of autobiographical fragments. ... show more

    • Updated Review and Rating
My initial review was based upon the Blu Ray not playing (Samsung Player and the error message was "...does not meet specifications". I did some research, after ordering a replacement which resulted in the same error message. I then had a guy at work and my stepdaughter try the replacement disks on their PlayStations and they played fine. So, the problem wasn't the Blu Ray, it was my Blu Ray player (Samsung 8500 is the model number). I replaced the Blu Ray player with a new Sony, and the movie plays fine. Now, the review of the film! It's an unusual movie...no real plot that I could figure out. But, it's also a fascinating film with beautiful photography. It really kept my attention... I'm not sure I'd recommend it. I'd suggest purchasing and watch the director (Andrei Tarkovsky) other films first...specifically "Solaris" and "Stalker" (my favorite, but both good). Tarkovsky's films are an acquired taste...not much action, very dialogue driven and philosophical. It you like those two, then you should find this film as fascinating as I did ... show more

    • 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. ... show more

    • The most beautiful melancholic visual poem ever.
On a Andrei Tarkovsky trip on my knees, each of his film is the most beautiful poetic and bewitching in its own right like a diamond crown.

    • Mr .Tarkovsky
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. ... show more

    • Absolutely beautiful!
Tarkovsky’s most personal and absolutely magical film. Never seen anything like it and I can watch over and over again. I am glad Criterion Collection released it in Blu-ray with a nice packaging.
