They all have perfect faces and haircuts. | Rating: 5/5 Required fields are marked * Comment. |, March 5, 2018 “It is almost as if Tarkovsky transfers the burden of this dream onto the audience,” Vida T. Johnson and Graham Petrie assert in The Films of Andrei Tarkovsky: A Visual Fugue, “forcing us to fill in for the experience that Ivan can no longer have for himself and providing for us—but not for him—a sense of potential harmony and reconciliation that reminds us all the more cruelly of what he has lost.” This last dream—showing children playing on the beach, among shiny splatters of water, and the mother, who smiles and walks away into the distance—is permeated with splendor and innocence. He had been seriously wounded three times but survived and finished the war in Berlin - the 19 year old soldier with six medals for courage and heroism. Impressive as all this may be, 'Ivan's Childhood' is a bit of a bumpy ride. Ivan’s Childhood had already been in development at Mosfilm but had been put on hold, so it came as a lucky break when the property was handed to Tarkovsky.

How beautiful, important and brilliant this movie is, can´t be explained. |, May 10, 2020 Although Ivan survived physically, he was changed forever, not a boy but a man who looked in the eye of triumphant death and horror. Relying on vertical movement, the dream’s mise-en-scène arrangement will become a key element in Tarkovsky’s later, visually dialectical style, which often prefers to show protagonists twice in a scene, from perspectives above and below, both within a situation and observing it from the outside.
