"The film sparked a lot of discussion and after a screening there was an argument about the film. It was late and a woman showed up, she was a cleaner in the screening room, and she asked people: 'It's noisy here What, I should clean up, the content of this movie is very clear, very simple, a man is sick, he is afraid of death, and then he remembers many wrong things he has done to others, he wants to repent, just It's that simple'. I think the woman probably didn't finish elementary school and she pointed it out so clearly. And the critics, as usual, didn't understand anything."

    A person can completely photograph what he thinks, what really belongs to him, and let others worship you. Tarkovsky did it, staying true to himself. A cross-cut between the present and childhood, Tarkovsky's thoughts on the past

Mirror quotes

  • Father: It seems to make me return to the place, poignantly dear to my heart, where my grandfather's house used to be in which I was born 40 years ago right on the dinner table. Each time I try to enter it, something prevents me from doing that. I see this dream again and again. And when I see those walls made of logs and the dark entrance, even in my dream I become aware that I'm only dreaming it. And the overwhelming joy is clouded by anticipation of awakening. At times something happens and I stop dreaming of the house and the pine trees of my childhood around it. Then I get depressed. And I can't wait to see this dream in which I'l be a child again and feel happy again because everything will still be ahead, everything will be possible...

  • Forensic doctor: You know, I fell and found strange things here - roots, bushes... Has it ever occurred to you that plants can feel, know, even comprehend? The trees, this hazelnut bush...

    Natalya: This is an alder tree.

    Forensic doctor: It doesn't matter. They don't run about. Like us who are rushing, fussing, uttering banalities. That's because we don't trust nature that is inside us. Always this suspiciousness, haste, and no time to stop and think.
