Ivan’s Childhood
Synopsis
In WW2, twelve year old Soviet orphan Ivan Bondarev works for the Soviet army as a scout behind the German lines and strikes a friendship with three sympathetic Soviet officers.
Cinematic DNA
I felt a deep affinity with Andrei Tarkovsky, particularly for his first two films, Ivan’s Childhood and Andrei Rublev. It’s a very simple reason: when I watched his films it was like watching my own thoughts. His approach to cinema, and to life, was very close to my own.
