Sunday 22 May (19.30)
Running time: 1h 35m
Andrei Tarkovsky’s debut feature is a poignant and powerful story of war and revenge. In World War II, twelve-year-old Ivan loses his parents after Nazis attack his village. Seeking revenge the young boy joins the Soviet army as a scout and soon becomes indispensable due to his ability to go undetected through enemy lines. The missions get tougher and it is decided Ivan must take a step back, but after convincing the officer in charge he is allowed to carry out one final expedition.
One of the world’s most visionary, celebrated and influential filmmakers, Andrei Tarkovsky made just seven features before his tragically early death at the age of 54. Characterised by metaphysical and spiritual explorations of the human condition, each film is an artistic masterpiece of extraordinary visual beauty and they all stand as enduring classics of world cinema. Screening from pristine new digital prints, the Russian auteur’s seven features will be showing at GFT every Sunday evening from 22 May to 3 July.
