Interesting. I agree that Ivan's childhood is probably his most linear film (and therefore least "tarkovsky-like"), everything after that starts to become more abstract. I did dig some parts of The mirror though, on a purely visceral level, didn't understand a thing about it. Same for most of his other movies, but he was such an original author you can't help but be captivated by his imagery. Maybe when I'm a bit older and smarter I'll give them all another try...
