My
name is Ivan
(VHS)
Soviet Union. 1962. black and white. 84 mins. Russian. Subtitled
English Language. NTSC format (US and Canada only)
"My Name is Ivan" is the tender movie about the
innocence & beauty of the bonds that form between people
during wartime. Set during World War II, 12 year-old Ivan
is hell-bent on revenge after his family is killed by German
soldiers. Because of his youthful size & agility, Ivan
becomes a spy for his homeland & risks his life as he
crosses the German border. Under a sky of exploding shells
& a rain of machine gunfire, Ivan makes a new family out
of the Russian soldiers who find his courage to be an inspiration.
"My Name is Ivan" was Andrei Tarkovsky's first in
a string of critically acclaimed films respected around the
world. Brilliant photography & a deep sensitivity for
the characters form a truly great film.

a futuristic orbiting space station come reports of strange
behavior & unexplained hallucinations from the cosmonauts

The
Mirror (VHS
Soviet) Union 1975. 106 mins.
Combining stunning slow-motion sequences, newreels, & nostalgic
visions of his own childhood, the film's highly personal approach
finds no equal in world cinema.
Attention: I heard from various sources that this video's sound
and picture are of a low quality (due to a bad transfer). I
have not seen it myself. People interested in buying "The
Mirror" on video might want to check out the edition from
KINO INTERNATIONAL. Much more expansive, but featuring a superior
quality. |
