The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Zerkalo (The Mirror) starting at 8 p.m. According to the Eastman House calendar, "a masterpiece from one of cinema's greats, Tarkovsky's mediation on time, memory and the nature of what we call 'the past' blends contemporary moments, newsreel footage, and childhood memories with poems written by the director's father. The result is a personal yet ultimately universal film that is as philosophically rigorous as it is emotionally gripping."

The spiritual connotations of her dilemma become the texture of this stark yet passionate tale of human redemption — realist cinema at its very best."

Captured and sent to solitary confinement by the Nazis, French Resistance officer Fontaine slowly and methodically plans his escape, his every move marking the difference between life and death. One of Bresson's most moving and powerful films, A Man Escaped presents a prison break as a superhuman test of faith."
