The TVI Take
Andrei Tarkovsky's autobiographical meditation on memory, Russia, and his parents. Formally the most radical of his films — non-chronological, mixing newsreel, memories, and poetry.
Educational about Soviet history through the autobiographical lens. One of cinema's most formally challenging and beautiful films.
