Thomas S @RT53929595 Jul 6 I found it harder to stay focused on this one compared to Stalker or The Mirror. Still, the medieval setting really intrigued me. It gave me a deeper sense of what religious art must have meant to serfs and ordinary people enduring endless hardship. In that context, churches weren't just places of worship — they were one of the few sources of beauty and transcendence available to them.

Not only is it perfect from a filmmaking standpoint, it is also perfect from a spiritual, moral, philosophical, and psychological perspective. Accurately portrays the suffering that Christians have endured. This also has the greatest ending in the history of cinema.

The film was re-edited from the 1966 film titled The Passion According to Andrei by Tarkovsky which was censored during the first decade of the Brezhnev era in the Soviet Union. The film is loosely based on the life of Andrei Rublev, a 15th-century Russian icon painter. The film features Anatoly Solonitsyn, Nikolai Grinko, Ivan Lapikov, Nikolai Sergeyev, Nikolai Burlyayev and Tarkovsky's wife Irma Raush. Savva Yamshchikov, a famous Russian restorer and art historian, was a scientific consultant for the film. Although these issues with censorship obscured and truncated the film for many years following its release, the film was soon recognized by many western critics and film directors as a highly original and accomplished work. Even more since being restored to its original version, Andrei Rublev has come to be regarded as one of the greatest films of all time and has often been ranked highly in both the Sight & Sound critics' and directors' polls.

Although I watched it on a nice projector, it was at home, and I hope I get to see it at a real movie theater one day, so I don't get tempted by mundane distractions. But what a beauty. And what an ending. It's like I knew that colors would arrive at the ending. I wonder if Ciro Guerra was inspired by that when he made the ending to Embrace of the Serpent.

It is meandering, stumbling, not coherent. This makes each singular scene strong on its own, as it must shine with its own light, unable to depend on what comes before or after it. But at the same time because of this the whole movie seems somehow to be less than sum of its parts. The overall plot is hard to follow even in scenes where we should know what is going on – while time of each scene is meticulously documented, place is not and some characters are not that easy to identify. I get that this is not the main point here, but this does not work, in my opinion, in favor of said main point, of questions about relationship between faith and creativity. Confusion detracts rather than allows us to focus. But the plot-line about the bell was beautiful. I can easily see it remade into a separate movie of its own. See more Read all reviews
