What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the novella "Ivan" by Vladimir Bogomolov.
  • Production period: June 15, 1961 – January 18, 1962.
  • According to Tarkovsky, as stated in his book 'Sculpting in Time', he did not consider Vladimir Bogomolov's book particularly successful, but was confident that the short story format would be easier to adapt for film.
  • Tarkovsky played the role of one of the soldiers.
  • The film was released in wide Soviet distribution with a delay of four years.
  • The film inspired French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre to write an essay.
  • The dreams used in "Ivan's Childhood" are Tarkovsky's real dreams.
  • Initially, a different director was planning the film adaptation, with different actors, and the film crew was also different. However, at some intermediate artistic council, after viewing the filmed material, they concluded that the film was helpless, weak, and unnecessary. Then Tarkovsky unexpectedly appeared with a proposal to shoot a completely new film with the remaining money and within the remaining timeframe, on the condition of a complete rejection of the old concept, actors, and so on. In the end, only the scriptwriters – Bogomolov and Papava – remained, although their script was reworked by Tarkovsky and Andrei Konchalovsky.
  • There is a direct allusion to "Ivan's Childhood" in Jarmusch's film "Dead Man": the episode where Nobody and William Blake enter a birch forest is analogous to the episode with Captain Kholin and Masha.
  • Tarkovsky asked Vladimir Vysotsky to audition for the role of Captain Kholin, but the artistic council, after reviewing Vysotsky's audition, decided that it was unsuccessful. As a result, Valentin Zubkov played the role of Kholin.
  • The film is based on Vladimir Bogomolov’s story “Ivan.”
  • According to Tarkovsky, as stated in his book 'Sculpting in Time', he did not consider Vladimir Bogomolov's novel particularly successful, but was confident that the short story format would be easier to adapt for film.
