Zerkalo** Tarkovsky fills this movie with beautiful images and sounds. The background sounds transform smoothly in and out of the background music, which is excellent. My main problem with the movie is my inability to understand what the director wants to convey here. The themes are similar to those of David Lynch movies (which you know I am not a big fan of). What is reality, what is dream, which are real memories and which are altered memories.... it is all very confusing. On top of that, you have two different characters played by the same person. The abstractness of the film is the barrier that stops me from connecting to it. Nevertheless, the film does a great job in dealing with childhood memories (but is there something beyond it? I am sure there is, but what is it? These are the questions in my mind at this point). Maybe I need to watch it again.
