  • "Taking a central theme of Soviet cinema and literature - war - Tarkovsky in his feature debut went further down the path of modernism than any of his contemporaries. Ivan's struggle to come to terms with the reality of war is portrayed through a blending of realism, expressionism and surrealism which attracted international attention and criticism at home. At the centre of the film is a special bond that grows between an army captain, his lieutenant and the boy Ivan. Ivan's memories and dreams are interpolated. The two prelude-to-battle scenes have a dream-like quality."
  • "Twelve year old Ivan is determined to avenge his family's death at the hands of the Nazis. He joins a Russian partisan regiment as a scout."
  • "Andrei Tarkovsky's prize-winning debut feature is an extraordinarily moving view of war and revenge. Twelve-year old Ivan is determined to avenge his family's death at the hands of the Nazis, and he joins a Russian partisan regiment as a scout. His ability to slip through enemy lines more easily than an adult makes him useful to the army, but, as his missions become increasingly dangerous, it is decided that he must be removed from the front line. Ivan resists and convinces his commanding officers to allow him to carry out one last expedition."
