Under construction.
A very good and unique list!
Have you seen Tarkovsky's The Mirror? If so, what are your thoughts? If you haven't, I recommend it strongly.
I've seen it, yes, but I wasn't all that impressed. Too unfocused, random and dreamy. It has been a long while though since I've seen it and back then I was not yet very familiar with art films, so perhaps reviewing it will help me appreciate it better.
