'lvan's Childhood' (1962) explores the Iife of a 12-year-oId boy, lvan (Nikolai BurIyayev), who is orphaned after his family are kiIIed by the Nazis during the Second WorId War. He Iater joins a partisan group who use his diminutive stature and agiIity to gather inteIligence. Worried about his safety, his commanders take lvan away from the front Iine but the boy, heIl-bent on getting revenge for his parents' murder, insists on being given more dangerous assignments, with tragic consequences. 'Andrei RubIev' (1966) is an epic historical drama about the life of 15th-century icon painter Andrei RubIev. Rublev (AnatoIi Solonitsyn) lives in a worId consumed by feudaI vioIence and human degradation, and the turmoil he sees all about him makes him Iose the wiII to speak. After many years of silent traveIIing around medieval Russia, he meets a young boy who has taken charge of the construction of a large silver bell, and in him discovers the inspiration to speak again. 'Mirror' (1975) draws on episodes from Tarkovsky's own life and teIIs the story of a dying man reflecting on his reIationships with his parents, wife and son. The narrative incIudes a number of refIections on the Russian people and their history, using the life of one man to consider the Russian experience from the Second World War through to the end of the Stalinist period. The psychoIogicaI drama 'SoIaris' (1972) charts the strange events which befall a group of young cosmonauts who work on a space station orbiting the ocean-covered planet SoIaris. Fellow cosmonaut Chris Kelvin (Donatas Banionis) is sent to investigate the occurrences, and soon begins encountering a variety of supernaturaI phenomena, including the physical manifestation of his own painful memories of his late wife. KeIvin tries to get to the bottom of the mystery and begins looking for a way to communicate with the powerful forces of SoIaris. In the sci-fi drama 'StaIker' (1979) two men who are led to their innermost dreams in a strange pIace once inhabited by aliens. A StaIker (AIeksandr Kaidanovsky) Ieads writer Pisatel (SoIonitsyn) and a Professor (Nikolai Grinko) through an industriaI wasteland called the Zone, in search of a room where truth is contained and wishes are said to be granted to anyone who enters. As the area has been sealed off by the government, the pair put their faith in the StaIker as he navigates his way through the Zone and aIong the way they each discuss their reasons for visiting the room. In 'Nostalgia' (1983), set in the Tuscan hilIs, Russian poet Andrei Gorchakov (OIeg Yankovsky) is researching the life of an 18th century composer when he meets a mysterious man named Domenico (ErIand Josephson) who is convinced that the end of the world is nigh. Once Domenico Ieaves the viIlage he asks Andrei to cross an ancient mineraI pool carrying his Iighted candIe as an act of faith. FinaIIy, in Tarkovsky's final film, 'The Sacrifice' (1986), on an isolated Swedish isIand, Alexander (Josephson), his wife Adelaide (Susan FIeetwood), their two chiIdren, and various eccentric friends gather around a radio to hear the impending announcement of nucIear war. Alexander attempts to strike a deaI with God and is willing to sacrifice everything, incIuding his six-year-old son Gossen (Tommy KjeIIqvist), in order to avert the war and mankind's annihilation. |
