Ivan’s Childhood (Ivanovo Detstvo)
The great Andrei Tarkovsky’s debut feature, Ivan’s childhood (Ivanovo detstvo), is an evocative, poetic journey through the shadows and shards of a boy’s war-torn youth. Moving back and forth between the traumatic realities of World War II and serene moments of family life before the conflict began, Tarkovsky´s film remains one of the most jarring and unforgettable depictions of the impact of violence on children in wartime.
