If you loved Andrei Rublev, try Ivan's Childhood
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, and they both carry the cult, devastating, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Andrei Rublev, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ivan's Childhood is
You're a child, orphaned by war. You scout for the Soviet army, crossing enemy lines. But the fighting intensifies, and your protectors struggle to keep you from the front. Tarkovsky's debut feature finds poetry amid the brutal landscape.
