Watch Ivan's Childhood

Tarkovsky's sentient ocean planet and a cosmonaut's dead wife returning; the Soviet 2001.

Three men enter the Zone where wishes come true; Tarkovsky's slow masterpiece.

The icon painter through medieval Russia, the Tatar raid and a boy casting a bell.

Tarkovsky's own memories, his mother and a burning barn; the film with no plot people watch most.

A Russian poet in Italy carries a candle across an empty pool; exile as a state of mind.

A man promises God everything to stop a nuclear war; Tarkovsky's last film, shot by Sven Nykvist.

The 2003 original: three armies through the Second World War, and squads that shout.

El Alamein, Stalingrad and Normandy, with regenerating health for the first time.
