Russian term or phrase: ячейки, ящички
Не важно, был ли в нашей семье отец-тиран, которого изобразил Бред Питт, было ли у нас трое братье, с которыми приходилось бороться за внимание теплой мамы – так или иначе в этом фильме вы найдете какие-то универсальные для всего человечества ящички, где упаковано детство: ячейки-боли, ячейки-сны, ячейки-вспышки страхов, запахов и прикосновений. (о фильме "Древо Жизни" Терренса Малика)

Меня интересует "ячейки" переводить как "cells"?

а "ящички" как "boxes" или "drawers"?

have... compartmentalized
Explanation:
Я считаю, что "ячейки и ящики" будут звучать калькой в переводе. В англ. языке есть очень емкое слово (compartmentalize), которое изначально включает все значения: делить на отсеки, отделения, ячейки; отделять.

agree  barking knitter: "Drawers" instead of "cupboard"?

  -> Maybe "a chest of drawers"?....I don't know why I went out of my way to choose "cupboard" - just being perverse I guess.
