Very solid stuff. Burlyaev’s performance is one of the best I’ve seen from a child. Tarkovsky’s dream sequences and the lighting techniques he uses to divide them from reality are a highlight. Otherwise, Ivan’s Childhood didn’t grab me too much on a personal level. With so many “horrors of war” films, something either connects or it doesn’t. I don’t have any real complaints besides the nurse subplot being completely pointless other than to pad the runtime. She gets the film’s longest scene?
