Impressive short film by Andrei Tarkovsky, this is for me anyways an experiment in the way that he would tackle his later work. The film for what it is quite good, but it's not as great as Tarkovsky's later, more elaborate work. This is a good short film nonetheless, but compared to the director's more impressive theatrical features, this one just leaves a bit to be desired. I did enjoy the film for what it was, and it should be seen by Andrei Tarkovsky's completists for what it represents in his career. However like I said, he would later make far superior films later on, but here we do get a glimpse into how he would craft a film using simple ideas and would be able to grab your attention by its visual impact. This wasn't Tarkovsky's first short film, but it was a short that was quite different than what we've seen from beforehand. For what it is, it's a good short film, and it does show the director's talents in telling a good story with basic elements. Worth seeing if you're a Tarkovsky fan.

It's just beautiful. The first Tarkovsky's movie that I can finally enjoy.

worth watching if you're a Tarkovsky fan to see some his recurring themes & ideas in their nascent stages.
