Ivan's Childhood
One of the best shot films of all time, some genuinely unbelievable shots and fantastic acting. Ivan’s Childhood is simply a nightmare which is brought about by war, evil with only dreams offering a break. A great film.

Surreal and hypnotic
Ivan's Childhood
O começo e fim são hipnotizantes. Excelente fotografia, cenário, atuação. Porém, durante o desenvolvimento o filme parece que se perde.

“Korkmuyorum” Tarkovsky kendi sinemasını oluşturma aşamalarını büyük adımlarla arşınlıyor
Ivan's Childhood
the film focuses on the inner world of a young boy, ivan, whose childhood has been shattered by the horrors of world war II. the war itself remains a haunting presence and its impact is felt through ivan's dreams, nightmares and fragmented memories. i loved the whiteness of the woods in the forest scene as kholin and galtsev pursued masha, there is life and love even in death. edit: just read an article titled "growing up too soon: ivan's childhood." in the article it is said that tarkovsky refused to give in to the tidiness of a happy ending. “everything in this film must be profound, terrible, and true. there’s no room here for romance and adventure,” he cautioned. “the boy must not be the pride and joy of the regiment. he must be its grief. they all suffer when he goes ‘over the river.’ it is the boy’s adult passion that makes them suffer with him.”
Ivan's Childhood
Sans oublier les superbes idées de mises en scène, c'est un très beau film de guerre soviétique, qui raconte l'histoire d'un enfant forgé par la violence et marqué à vie par la 2GM

Film School Drop Outs Weekly Challenge (https://letterboxd.com/goghaliens/list/film-school-drop-outs-weekly-challenge-2019) Week 23: Soviet New Wave I don't have anything serious to say about this quiet film. So: I love the trees in it! They are so pretty, especially the forest trees that reminded me of Zebras, and ones in the background of that rainy flashback sequence that were lighted and captured in such a way that they looked like ocean waves. Not to take any credit away from the good performances, but they were the real star. This could've been just Tarkovsky shooting trees in an experimental manner, with the same score and I would've given it 5 stars. But anyways, the composition is great, even in that creepy kiss scene—basically trapping her in his embrace, with her having no way to push him away or anything 'cos that would've let to falling down—but the shot (angle, framing etc), completely out of context, looks cool visually...?
