'The Mirror'

Reading a lot of the criticisms of The Mirror, I've learned that many feel this is one of Andrei Tarkovsky's least watchable films.

If those same people have seen Solaris, I can't imagine why they would say that.

For one, it's under two hours, which is quite remarkable for Tarkovsky, apparently.

Two, it's beautifully shot with at least a semblance of some kind of story despite the narrative arc having a hand gernade tied to it and having the pin pulled. It's a hodgepodge of these different stories featuring the same characters mish-mashing it all together.

By far, it's one of the more watchable Tarkovsky. It's the marijuana of Tarkovsky films.
