Ivan's Childhood (Ivanova detstvo) (USSR/1962/dir. by Andrei Tarkovsky) 95 minutes
Ivan (Kolya Burlayev) is a twelve-year old orphan fighting in World War II to avenge his parents deaths at the hands of the German army. In many ways Tarkovsky's most conventional movie, Ivan's Childhood contrasts the title character's experience in war with his earlier life in his now-destroyed village. Greatly admired by critics and other filmmakers, Ivan's Childhood won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and established Tarkovsky's reputation as the most significant of a group of young Russian filmmakers who emerged during the Krushchev thaw. Originally released in this country under the name "My Name is Ivan."
