Trust me, you're not alone...

Tarkovsky felt that all his films are the type that should be watched more than once. This is true for The Mirror more than any other Tarkovsky film.

Anyway, think of this movie as someone's brain imprinted on celluloid. Memories and thoughts aren't linear. They're connected via associations not by logic.

It's safe to say that nearly everyone doesn't get everything on a first viewing.
