The Mirror is a 1975 Russian film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. It is loosely autobiographical, blending childhood memories, art work of this legendary film director with poems by his father Arseny Tarkovsky. The concept of The Mirror dates as far back as 1964.
Over the years Tarkovsky wrote several screenplay variants to clarify his deepest intension to make it for a cinema. Today The Mirror is widely regarded as a masterpiece and one of Tarkovsky‘s best works.
In 2005 , Finnish art film director, author and photographer Rax Rinnekangas shot Zahara & Urga (60 min), as a profound homage to Tarkovsky‘s Mirror . The purpose wasn’t to imitate Tarkovsky but to make a film that followed his philosophy which suggests that in our own mirror ‘we will see and understand’ more about the past.
