Mirror - Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky

This brief haunting sequence is from the movie "Mirror" by Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky.

All of his films I have seen (Mirror, Andrei Rublev, Solaris, The Sacrifice...) have this amazing visual style to them. The experience of watching these movies seemed to me almost like looking into someone else's dreams while they sleep.

After Stanley Kubrick, Tarkovsky may be my favorite director.

This clip is just a minute long. This isn't like when I posted the entirety of "Day of the Triffids" a few weeks back. Here is a longer clip from "Mirror" to give at least a little context to the above if you feel the need.
