Community Manager Water Bottle Posted September 13, 2014 Community Manager Share Posted September 13, 2014 A-28. Ivan's Childhood (1962) I'm just going to say Ivan's Childhood is nowhere near the A range. That's like saying Kes is a good movie. Oh wait, you did.

IVAN'S CHILDHOOD is pretty good. btw, I've made a horribly fatal error in my list, which is what happens when you sort by field without double-checking. Can anyone see what it is? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we get into the 70s Tarkovsky's gonna start popping up all over. The only thing keeping ANDREI RUBLYEV out is its really delayed release in the US.

Community Manager Water Bottle Posted September 13, 2014 Community Manager Share Posted September 13, 2014 All I know is that I found Ivan's Childhood to be a boring mess. Also it had a similar story to Prace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Ivan's Childhood is great, and this is the first (and hopefully the last) time I've seen it described as a "mess". What? There's nothing remotely complex or ambiguous about the story, it's direct and clear as day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 ivan's childhood is tarkovsky's second best film. Which do you think is his best? Ivan's Childhood is great, and this is the first (and hopefully the last) time I've seen it described as a "mess". What? There's nothing remotely complex or ambiguous about the story, it's direct and clear as day. Yep, definitely Tarkovsky's most mundane movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I have yet to see Tarkovsky's last three films, but I don't think any of them will beat The Mirror for me. That might be the most beautiful film I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) solaris, but i need to see mirror again. nostalgia was breathtakingly beautiful but a bit too blunt religiously, stalker was also beautiful but too heavy on the dialogue, andrei rublev might be least favourite so far. very good, but didn't sit perfectly for some reason. yet to see sacrifice, which i don't expect much of. ivan's childhood is also undoubtedly tarkovsky's simplest film i've seen. wasn't a huge fan of it initially.

Jake Gittes Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Now that I've seen his first five, I'd say Mirror > Andrei Rublev > Ivan's Childhood > Solaris > Stalker. First two are masterpieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxOfficeZ Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 For 1960s there's only two ranks for me. 1. Lawrence of Arabia. 2. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Once Upon a Time in the West 2001: A Space Odyssey Psycho Planet of the Apes The Guns of Navarone For a Few Dollars More. And probably a bunch more that I'm too lazy to list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
