The exterior and interior of Aleksei's grandfather's country house are seen. After the opening titles, a scene is set in the countryside during prewar times in which Aleksei's mother Maria, also called Masha and Marusya, speaks with a doctor who chances to be passing by. The film opens with Aleksei's adolescent son Ignat switching on a television and watching the examination of a man with a stutter by a physician who finally manages to make her patient say without disruption: "I can talk". Memories such as the evacuation from Moscow to the countryside during the war, a withdrawn father and his own mother, who worked as a proofreader at a printing press, feature prominently. Mirror draws heavily on Tarkovsky's own childhood. The film switches among three different time frames: prewar (1935), wartime (1940s), and postwar (1960s or '70s). The film's structure is discontinuous and nonchronological, without a conventional plot, and combines incidents, dreams, memories, and newsreel footage. The adult Aleksei is only briefly glimpsed, but is present as a voice-over in some scenes including substantial dialogue. Mirror depicts the thoughts, emotions and memories of Aleksei, or Alyosha (Ignat Daniltsev), and the world around him as a child, adolescent, and 40-year-old. It has also found favor with many Russians for whom it remains their most beloved of Tarkovsky's works. The film has grown in reputation since its release and is now considered one of the greatest films of all time, ranking 19th in Sight & Sound's 2012 critics' poll and ninth in the directors' poll. Mirror initially polarized critics and audiences, with many finding its narrative incomprehensible. The film's loose flow of oneiric images has been compared with modernist literature's stream of consciousness technique. Its cinematography slips between color, black-and-white, and sepia. The film combines contemporary scenes with childhood memories, dreams, and newsreel footage.
It unfolds around memories recalled by a dying poet of key moments in his life and in Soviet culture. Mirror is structured in the form of a nonlinear narrative, with its main concept dating back to 1964 and undergoing multiple scripted versions by Tarkovsky and Aleksandr Misharin. Innokenty Smoktunovsky provides voiceover and Eduard Artemyev the incidental music and sound effects.
The film features Margarita Terekhova, Ignat Daniltsev, Alla Demidova, Anatoly Solonitsyn, Tarkovsky's wife Larisa Tarkovskaya and his mother Maria Vishnyakova. It is loosely autobiographical, unconventionally structured, and incorporates poems composed and read by the director's father, Arseny Tarkovsky. And the price can’t be beat.Mirror (Russian: Зеркало, romanized: Zerkalo) is a 1975 Russian drama film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. You can imagine how glad I was that it just worked. I was about to give up and then found this one. I was starting to think there was no simple projector that would just let you play content from your phone. I looked at dozens of others and even purchased and returned other projectors because they just didn’t work (overly complex, won’t connect to your phone, limits you to only playing only content from certain streaming services, etc).
Overall this is such a fantastic value for the money. There is an audio jack to plug it into a speaker if you need more powerful sound. The projector has a built-in speaker which is not loud but works fine for a small gathering in a small space. There is no keystone option so you have to just manually position the projector in the correct spot for a perfect, undistorted rectangle. If you plug it in first, Apple displays an error saying that it won’t allow you to connect to this source.

It works! Tip: on my phone you have to start the movie and then plug on the projector *after* you’ve started the movie. I bought this to connect to my iPhone so I could play movies that we own on a “big screen” for my kids while we are in our camper.
