I REALLY tried to like "The Mirror." Truly. I even

re-wound the parts immediately before I fell asleep, made some espresso, and watched to the end.
This movie is maddening because one wants to like it. The protagonist is charismatic and beautiful. The cinematography is perfectly realized. The cuts and placements of different shots, stills, documentaries, is masterful.
But...it doesn't tell an intelligible story nor does it have the pace to keep one's attention.
It is, in fact, kind of like listening to some modern composers, like John Cage...pretty snippits mixed so woefully together that they grate upon the senses (quietly so, in Tarkovsky's case).
