There is no denying that Tarkovsky is one of the most important Russian filmmakers of all time. And since I consider myself to be a massive fan of cinema, it is something I had to see. I liked Stalker but I'm not a big fan of Mirror. It really is film as a poem, a avant garde film where imagery is more important than story. And where Stalker still fascinated me, Mirror does not. For me it is too much a beautiful set of shots that are crawling with subtext and too little a decent narrative. Could be my lack of intelligence though...
