- "The Mirror" movie represents reflections, thoughts of the person named here as the Author. He does not appear personally, only his tired voice sounds. And on the screen, as if in a mirror, are pictures of his past. At first, the memories seem scattered: love for the mother, which the Author does not know how to express, a piercing feeling for the father, dissatisfaction with himself for the undeveloped relationship with his son ... Gradually it becomes clear - this is a person’s account of himself, a difficult judgment of conscience, maybe even a sentence. The film occupies a special place in the work of Andrei Tarkovsky. In it, he captured his aged mother Maria Ivanovna Vishnyakova-Tarkovsky, behind the scenes the voice of his father, the poet Arseny Tarkovsky, reciting his wonderful poems sounds. It's a confession film, a revelation film...

You can't and won't understand this film, only feel it with the soul. A work of art.
I really can’t
I recommended this to a girlfriend once and after watching it at the cinema she called me crying her eyes out saying that she didn't know why she was crying because she didn't understand the film. That tells you how profound it is. Tarkovsky once said that children understood the film more than adults.
In these tragic times, how comforting it is for me to watch movies like this and realize what a wonderful trove of art Mankind is capable of making.
and as you say also the opposite...
Yes.
@@Onionbaron Yeah, really shitty art is pretty bad.
"in these tragic times" get your ass out of the narrow thing you call the things that are happening inside your lifetime..."in these tragic times" not that I`m laughing hahaha
the only non-tragic time in your life, were when you forgot the tragedy while drinking your sip of pleasure or the naivity of childhood
I'm not sure to have understood this movie in its entirety, but I have felt it intensely. It's certainly one of the most beautiful cinematic poems I ever seen.
I don't think you need to do an online diploma to understand it! Basically it's memories (and dream sequences) of Tarkovsky's childhood, especially his mother. In the middle is some authentic WWII newsreel footage, which T felt brought the film together and symbolised 'the struggle'.
I could watch a film like this several times and understand it more intensely each time.
To have understood. 🤓
@@geinikan1kan I do that all the time. Also for the comfort it brings me in these hard times.
@@geinikan1kan That definitely applies to Zerkalo.
Tarkovsky was truly a blessing from God and so is this channel for allowing his films to be watched for free legally and ethically.
My Brother In Christ, I could not have said it better myself. Inshallah.
SPASIBA !!!
Fuck the law and ethics.
Amen! The woman - the character - is so real-life beautiful, it doesn't really matter what she's doing, you could just watch her for hours.
@@zestyzest2868 ppp
I am in a cafe and almost bursted crying when watching the last scene. The mother, what's in her eyes? No, I can't describe it by words, I truly feel it. The present, the future, our children, the gift we have to protect and guide. Our memories will be the only possible way that linger our coming to death, like it or not, you will all remember it like an old film at the last minute of you.
The whole world for me is connected with my mother. I didn't even understand it very well while she was alive. It was only when my mother died that I suddenly realized this clearly. I made “Mirror” while she was still alive, but only later did I understand what the film was about. Although it seemed to be conceived about my mother, it seemed to me that I was making it about myself. As Tolstoy wrote “Childhood. Adolescence. Youth". Only later did I realize that “Mirror” was not about me, but about my mother. Andrei Tarkovsky. From a conversation with Jerzy Illg and Leonard Neuger, Stockholm, March 26, 1985
Beyond being gorgeously shot and written and impeccably paced and acted, the film is highly symbolic, and I think understanding the film fully hinges partly on knowing that Tarkovsky's own mother plays the protagonist's mother in her older years, and that the poems in the film are both written by and read by Tarkovsky's father. I didn't fully understand the film until I learned those things, but afterward it all made sense to me.
The fact that the same actress plays both the protagonist's mother and ex-wife was obvious in meaning, he loves his mother but doesn't know how to express it so he dated women that looked like his mother, but looks are skin-deep and their personalities clashed so they didn't last together, but the poems seemed random to me and I didn't understand them, until I learned that it was Tarkovsky's own father that wrote them. Meaning it was Tarkovsky's way of including the father in the story whose presence is otherwise absent throughout.
Wonderful film, one of the best I've ever watched.
Esse comentário então me leva a distinguir a arte da natureza, que os artistas as vezes esquecem. Eles bem que gostariam de nunca serem criticados.
No, not symbolic but metaphor. No, you don't need to know his backstory in order to understand the film. Just trust the feeling.
Tarkovsky achieves with film what the greatest poets achieve with language. I feel that this stands beside the deepest art ever made and possibly will ever be made.
agreed
Could be.
More like above: PAINTER of films.
Please explain me what this movie was about, I couldn’t understand anything

11:00 the most beautiful gust of wind in movie history
That took me by surprise, not going to lie, it was magical, mesmerizing and it took my breath away
🚁
@@mapetlv i thought they had a wind machine on a rail :)
Truly nostalgic, I once felt that feeling when I visited my childhood grandma,s house one winter reflecting on my passed childhood memories in that garden and wind was blowing, and while I saw this scene tarkowsky invoked exactly the similar feeling of nostalgia in me. What a masterpiece 🖤
The closest a Film has ever come to making you feel like you are watching someone's dream. R.I.P. Tarkovsky, your genius will live on forever.
I prefer 8 1/2 tbh. This film feels too pretentious at times in my opinion.
@@idrinkyourmilkshake845 I love Fellini and 8 1/2 a lot, but I don't rewatch any of his work like I rewatch Tarkovsky's stuff. And if I had to pick, I think La Strada is my favorite Fellini film.
@@stimpy2695
La Strada is a fantastic film indeed. The only quarrel I have this film that just loses it to 8 1/2 for me is some of the poetry and certain scenes I thought were straight up incomprehensible, which may be the intention. If I give Mirror a rewatch I’ll probably like it a lot more, on par with 8 1/2.
@@idrinkyourmilkshake845 Absolutely, Mirror is almost an incomprehensible film on your first watch, however as the time goes with a little bit of deep thought, it becomes a meaningful and deliberate story.
@@dylan-Z-anson
That’s true. I adore the first scene in Mirror, but after that I get progressively bored :(
However I will definitely have to see it again.
What a joy to have this miracle of a movie free, online, in excellent quality! Thank you! “The aim of art is to make man capable of being good.” (Tarkovsky)
So true... So true....
This film had limited distribution when released in the US. By the miracle of being connected today, we can watch great films like this in the privacy of our homes Thank you.
Since moving to Europe, films UNAVAILABLE in the US are simply on TV or part of various film festivals.
I just saw the movie on a big screen here in Brazil, for the first time ever. What a masterpiece. The most realistic and oniric ( how is that possible ?) representation of memory and time flow. Arseny Tarkovsky reciting his own poems is like a mystical experience of beauty. Holly God, this is the ultimate form art can achieve !! It talks to unconscious self, the emotions, not the rational. Bravo !
For me, this felt like the most emotionally difficult movie to watch and the longest. Paradoxically, this is the shortest movie directed by Andrei. The point of his movies is not to get answers, but to discover how to ask harder and more interesting questions!
I'm live in South Korea male. I don't understand film but I feel insecure in movie. This Unfigured feeling is shaking my soul.
So watching this film while nervous, I feel more and more stable to be funny.
Thank you, angle of earth.
Tarkovsky's film 'Stalker" really affected me for some reason. I watched it back in 2016 and I cannot stop thinking about what was going on and about the characters.
Very haunting images in Stalker. Amazing how Tarkovski could put up on the screen, what he imagines through the camera lens. Art in the truest sense.
“Stalker” last night..
“The Mirror “ tonight..
Thank you, Mosfilm.
Perhaps the best Tarkovsky film ... Epic film about family and culture, really love this film... It needs to be seen several times.
Ha, glad you said that...I can't make head or tail of it, so far anyway. But great acting and superb filming as one might expect....thanks
@@robinhampshire8923 You have to watch it in one go, no interruptions, no commenting online during the movie, watch on a big TV, turn your phone off, turn the lights off.
with eyes colesd,
@@pikeywyatt , just keep the eyes of your soul wide open, (if you still got one.)
@@deliriumtremens9013 Yes, it's absolutely and purely true. We also need to belong to a different level of consciousness, a more subtle space of our mind, our soul and inner being to feel the poetry of this film. It's a poem after all in terms of its artistic representation. I could understand this much without even understanding a lot of things that it's a great work of art and a great film and this is my prosaic confession.
I've seen all Tarkosky's films and in my very humble opinion this one is his real Masterpiece. Every Tarkosky film is a poetic experience but this one put you"off limits". Thanks so much for uploading it. ➕
Yes, I could also feel that poetry. It was a beautiful and wonderful journey to watch a moving poetry even without understanding a lot of things ... I enjoyed it in my soul, in subtle spaces of my mind as a poetry.
This is a film that grows larger and larger with time. Talking about Andrei Tarkovsky’s actual childhood. This film had a great impact on Tarkovsky’s journey as in artist & human. It points out the importance of living in family, the roots of our human knowledge and sense being fed since were children. This is a masterpiece beyond explanation nor imagination, That I consider one of the greatest art pieces that mankind ever delieverd.
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I'll think about the final sequence eternally.
Why?
@@loomingmoon4682 It kind of represent the circle of life. How the present and future is bound to the past in a way. Like all the hardships and suffering on one hand and that childish yell on the other and it kind of beats all that.
This movie is something i understand by heart than the mind, the scenic shots are something beyond its time and it continues to awe me throughout the movie. I am so grateful to meet Andrei Tarkovsky's works in this lifetime.
U've said my words.....high fives 🙏
cand you explain it to me i don't understand it by the mind
@@travisbickle3835 perhaps it is not meant to be understood by the mind then. Accept your way of living things, some will feel it this way, some another way, life isn't all mind and it's perfectly fine this way.
I learned of this film from watching a symposium Tarkovsky gave in Italy in the 80s. He showed a few fragments of films that influenced him, and touched on what he thought cinema was capable of expressing. He said color was superfluous in cinema. When I see this film, that moves so elegantly between bw and color, I don't know if I can agree with him!
do you remember what films and artists he said influenced him? I would love to study and learn what he did, also thank you for sharing!
The Christian symbolism here is intense.
It's amazing this film was made in the Soviet Union.
The Pushkin quote, the resurrection of the bird in the end, the cross in the last shot @ 1:44:28 and the score chosen for it, the iconography of the main character in the mirror like Jesus' Mother Mary... Meanwhile we, the viewers, are staring at our own faint reflections upon the screens in front of us now
- Do we choose to see meaninglessness through the proverbial looking glass, or do we value ourselves more worthy?
Top 5 Tarkovsky films in my humble estimation. 1) Stalker, 2) The Mirror, 3) Andrei Rublev, 4) Solaris, 5) The Sacrifice. He is without question one of the greatest Movie Directors in history. For me personally I can't think of a film director to eclipse his body of work. His style (Sculpting In Time) moulds poetry to sound and image. A true master of his craft.
An unparalleled movie that touches the deepest parts of your soul!
Greetings from Japan.
Terekhova is so god damn beautiful, it's almost painful
Nothing speaks more of living life as a dream than a Tarkovsky film.
i saw this film here on YT for three years ago, and it was a bliss. The best actor, the best portait of a woman there is, and from a time when movies like this was possible....Thanks Margerita!
Thank you from Vietnam 🇻🇳. This is an epic film. I don’t know why this film brings back my childhood memories. It’s a strange feeling but it’s soothing. Love ❤️ it.
This movie is a unique and sublime artistic experience for those watching it. It's a landmark in cinema that wrote a new language for making films. Every time watching this movie, I experience new feelings and reflections.
Thanks Mosfilm for uploading this Masterpiece.
😜🤪🤪
When I watch this film I feel that it is possible to truly know another human being.
Bach's St John Passion playing in the end... simply sublime.
He could truly show us how heaven and earth meet in sacred spaces throughout the entire movie.
Tarkovsky's cinematography is pure poetry.
Love Tarkovsky's work being made available for free.
This is what is called a true and real art
This is a true Masterpiece! The picture of Tarkhovski is incredibly sophisticated and simple at the same time. Margarita Terekhova is a talented actress. Her beauty is magnificent.
.
No director portrays dreams and memories as vividly as Tarkovsky! Also, its my impression that he was very tuned in to the classical elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space
Это шаманизм сибирский и эти стихии вы хорошо поняли.
I think no one has ever delivered the feeling of nostalgia one feels when they grow up and revisit their childhood home or memories than tarkovsky through this film.That wind gushing scene...wow.🖤spoke to my heart.
I saw this movie many years ago. Thank you so much for downloading it. Blessings
Absolutely pure genius art. No words...
I just wanted to list a few motifs and iconography in the film that I think ties a lot of the themes together. I'll do this in parts as to not make the comment needlessly long. So here is part 1
Birds - representing the soul, freedom, and immortality. There are three birds in the film:
(in order of experience vs chronologically ordered in the film)
The first we see land on Aleksei in which he prevents it from flying away which imo alludes to the sense of the soul being suppressed in the material space. It is bound by Aleksei's palm through the span of his time on earth.
The second bird is seen flying away when Maria is levitating (levitation is also used in Solaris) which symbolizes enlightenment. This scene is very allusive and most have drawn different conclusions about it but I think it is when Maria conceives Aleksei and the bird that is flying away represents unbound immortality that flows from the material space and into the spiritual/metaphysical space. Maria is transcending earthly limitations (time) and is not bound by physical constraints because as she has conceived Aleksei she ensures her life continues to flow "from age to age" thus achieving immortality.
The third bird (which occurs before we see Maria's levitation) is I think Marias sacrificing her own freedom by killing a bird that although can't fly (cant truly be free) has a pragmatic purpose in assuring her and Aleksei don't starve during the hardships of the war. The killing of the rooster is something neither Maria nor the doctors wife want to do as this means somebody is sacrificing something of themselves (freedom and innocence) and when the doctors wife suggests Aleksei do it (he's a man after all) Maria protests and puts the burden on herself. This is meant to show Marias protective nature of Aleksei and how she doesn't want him to lose his freedom and youth -- where as the narrator explains ensures still endless possibilities.
The end of the film we see Aleksei with the bird he had been holding on to since his childhood. The bird is badly wounded its been crushed by the weight of the world and seems like it can't fly. In his last gesture on earth Aleksei releases the bird and it flys into the spiritual space (Aleksei is dying but his soul lives on) and finally the film ends with his redemption and reconnection with his mother in the spiritual space.
Thankyou, thankyou , thankyou Mosfilm from Australia for bringing these wonderful movies to the world.
Thank you for putting this extraordinary work online for us in full.
Truly a blessing that this film exist.
The responsibility of being a mother. The joy and the burden. Mesmerizing!
Watching this for the first time now! Just saw the breathtaking shot of the house burning and had to comment on the beauty of this film so far
What powerful visuals! What beautiful melancholy! Wrenched my heart, and left me speechless.
Thank you for posting this treasure of a movie!!!
If you want to understand how the Russian language can support poetry, this movie is.... awesome
Thanks for sharing this masterpiece. This restored version reveils the true eye candy Tarkovsky delighted us with.
An incredible film. Thank you so much, Mosfilm, for posting this. Cheers from Canada.
One of the best movies I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for uploading this and thanks to CZcams for hosting greatness.
I'm facing some issues in my eyesight ... I still don't wear spectacles. So, I watched the entire film through magnifying glass so that I don't miss a single subtitle and my experience, my journey is just awesome although I must confess that I need to see it time & again to feel its sublimity more deeply & truly. It was a poetic journey through words, pictures and characters together, Each frame itself was poetry in painting or painting in poetry and I was taken to some other reality through my magnifying glass. I would like to share with Tarkovsky Sir my special experience of watching this movie through magnifying glass in my small mobile if I ever reach heaven and meet him there in my dream. Thank you so much for uploading it. It opened a new canvas, a new reality in front of me. I'm really thankful & grateful to you. Sending you and sharing with all of you the colours of life from Kolkata, India. 🌈😇🙏🙋
This ain't no movie a la Hollywood, but a real film.
@@mckavitt13 I love Hollywood-in-its-Heyday classic movies but you're so right: there are worlds of difference between Hollywood's Best and Tarkovsky's films. Perhaps "On The Waterfront" [1954] is one of the closest American movies (in its gritty but poetic authenticity) to this one. I know there are a few others, can't remember them right now. Consider too that The Mirror was made in the mid-1970s. I've long thought the 70's was one of the least satisfying periods in American filmmaking (IMHO of course!) but a number of very worthy, classic European/Asian movies were created at that time. This was certainly one of them and probably the best!
The soundtrack is perfectly timed and fits the scene atmosphere!
I really appreciate this channel kindly publishing such a film that eases many unsettled souls
One of the most poetic movies ever..
This definitely belongs to TOP 10 films I have seen in my life...
thanks u for bring us such a good version of Tarkovsky

Лучший фильм Тарковского. пересматриваю периодически.
We live in a dark moment. This film describes unbelievable darkness of the past, yet now we are actually in hell. Half humans fill their lives with toxicity and scream at eachother, not knowing art of such a calibre that it is unrivalled still now. Only 9.5k views of this utter masterpiece of beauty and poetry whilst they recreate the third panel of Bosch's garden, an actual hell. Thank you to Miosfilm for keeping this highest art available to the world, especially during this insane moment of contrived and disgusting hatred by the western oligarchy who yet again would attempt to destroy Russia. They have not learned that this will be their last attempt and they now shall be destroyed along with their hell world. Thank you for Andrei Tarkovsky and all great artists of all ages. Without this vision of beauty we may not find our way out of this hell.
damn. well said but wtf man???
@@randysneed570 sorry, but life is inexplicable most of the time.
@@frontstandard1488 agreed
Thank you for making this accessible for us.
Hard to accept that film as an art, especially of this caliber, is a thing of the past. Even harder to watch a film like this and then wake up to the reality of the time we live in.
The 2020s are the overt initiation of the disappearance of the human.
Move to somewhere place like this and disconnect yourself from social medias. A life like this is still something very achievable.
This is the first film i watched that vividly painted how nostalgia looks like, this film is how it feels, the homesickness for a dream, a place non existent but still within you, the silence, the childhood memory, an untouchable imagination, a wistful eye into the past.
Громко и четко, не боясь своего голоса и своей речи.
5/6-3-2023. I feel like Andrei somehow hacked into my mind and made a film with my memories. This is exactly how I dream and look back at my memories. What a masterpiece. 🖤

The mirror is everyday life represented as a film, with the understanding that the reflection is selective and fragmented. That's life. Stendhal pulls it off with a man carrying a mirror on a path. Something like that.
