Mirror 
Category: Foreign
Run time: 102 minutes
Director: Andrei Tarkovsky
Starring: Margarita Terekhova, Philip Yankovsky, Ignat Daniltsev, Oleg Yankovsky, Innokenti Smoktunovsky
Made in 1975, Mirror is Tarkovsky's most wildly ambitious film - an attempt to filter a potted-history of Russia through his own foggy childhood memories. Visually stunning, baffling and intensely personal, the result is also impossibly ambiguous - but stick with it. Cinema rarely gets this close to poetry in motion. Cruising through three generations, we find an unseen narrator (Innokenti Smoktunovsky) musing over his family, Tarkovsky's father Arseny reciting his own poetry, his mother appearing as herself and Margarita Terekhova playing both the narrator's youthful parent and his ex-wife.
