SATURDAY
THE MIRROR (Andrei

Tarkovsky's looking glass is
not merely cracked but shattered, as
we see the jagged, jumbled reflec-
tions of its shards. Images of
Tarkovsky's childhood and frag-

mingled with slow motion, dream
sequences and poetic chunks of
stark newsreels. Starring Oleg
Yankovsky and Margarita
Terekhova, the film has Russian di-
alog with English subtitles.
BLACK ORPHEUS (Marcel Ca-
mus, 1959) MLB 3 7:00 & 9:00
