Music: Eduard Artemyev.

What are the limits of narrative cinema? If, indeed, Mirror is narrative – that question needs to be developed in more ways than I can go into here. I concede that it is “poetic,” including the fact that Arseniy Tarkovskiy, the director’s father, reads his own poems in the film, and there are scenes of extraordinary beauty, the work of cinematographer Georgi Rerberg. But is that all we should ask of a film? It’s easy to say that Andrei Tarkovsky’s film is non-linear, jumping back and forth in time with no clues about when and where we are in any given moment. Even the switches from black-and-white to color turn out to be red herrings if you’re trying to sort out chronology. There is a fine line between frustration and stimulation, and Tarkovsky dances along it as we the viewers follow him. The film has to be understood as a memory piece in which Alexei, a man on his deathbed, recalls his childhood in Russia before, during, and after World War II. His memories include his mother, Maria, and his wife, Natalia, both played beautifully by Margarita Terekhova. Similarly, Ignat Daniltsev plays both the young Alexei and his son, Ignat. In addition to the actor Innokentiy Smoktunovskiy’s voiceover as the dying Alexei, there is newsreel footage from the wartime and postwar periods, along with bits of fantasy and surrealism. I would like to say that Mirror is hypnotic, because it begins with a scene in which a therapist uses hypnotism to try to cure a young man of a speech impediment, but that oversimplifies the effect of the film. In the end, I have to concede to the consensus on the greatness of Mirror: It took 31st place in the 2022 Sight and Sound critics poll of the greatest films of all time, and an astonishing 8th place in the directors’ poll.
