| Brief Description: | 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 lifea 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.
