I've watched this a couple of times in the past month after going 30 years since seeing it. It's probably the best concert movie ever, unless you want to give the vote to The Last Waltz.

Really? 7.9? I'd go as high as 7.657. Plus or minus 0.005 obviously.I'm assuming Gaussian statistics, of course.
Well, you would be wrong
I just didn't want to give it a 8 and I don't know, it's more accurate?

Ten years ago or so (I was around your age), I was a total cinephile. I would watch a Bergman or a Tarkovsky movie, and I would then spend hours reading critical analysis from film critics and academics. I also thought of myself as someone who watched FILM. Not mere movies like some philistine! And you know what else? I used to keep a log of movies I watched, along with a rating. And I would rate movies to two significant figures, as you did.

Serious? I do all of those stuff. I was just going to watch a Tarkovsky movie but I fell asleep before I could open it. And to top you I tried to write my own critical analysis before I gave up

Yep. Totally serious. I no longer do any of that. Now I'm content to look down at people who know less science than me.
Seriously though, If you're into Tarkovsky, I'd recommend The Return by Andrey Zvyagintsev. It is my favorite Russian movie post USSR, and it has a very Tarkovskyan feel with its deep reflections on Russian-ness.
I am not yet into it yet as I haven't watched any of his movies. I was spending more time in Japanese and Korean cinema but I appreciate the suggestion.
Late Edit: Actually, I watched The Return and I loved it. I probably shared it here too if I recall correctly. I don't know why I thought I didn't watch it. It had some memorable scenes.

Ivan's Childhood
So I started my Tarkovsky adventure with his first feature film. I don't think I will be able to forget some of the scenes I have seen. 9.2.
I have found a letter by Jean-Paul Sartre talking about Ivan's Childhood while I was searching for analysis(es?). I couldn't write anything after it.

Ooooh, looks interesting. Love that cover!!! @Hekate, should I read the letter before or after I watch the movie?
I almost forgot, I saw this over the weekend as well.

Great trailer because it doesnt really give the story away.
Anyway, I thought it was a damn good movie. Great acting. Nice mood. Solid story.
85% on the RT.

I think it would be better if you saw the movie first.
