Mirror (4K, drama, directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, 1974)

The restoration of the film was carried out by specialists from the Telecinema and Computer Graphics department of the Mosfilm film concern. The film is the reflections and thoughts of a man called the Author here. He himself does not appear in person, only his tired voice is heard. And on the screen, as if in a mirror, pictures of his past pass. At first, the memories seem disjointed: love for his mother, which the Author cannot express, a piercing feeling for his father, dissatisfaction with himself for the failed relationship with his son... Gradually it becomes clear - this is a man'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 aging mother Maria Ivanovna Vishnyakova-Tarkovskaya, and the voice of his father, the poet Arseny Tarkovsky, reading his wonderful poems, is heard off-screen. This is a confession film, a revelation film...
