Thomas S 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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Luke H. The greatest film of all time. 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.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Virgo V Andrei Rublev (Andrey Rublyov) is a 1966 Soviet epic biographical historical drama film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky who co-wrote it with Andrei Konchalovsky. 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review jan b Movies don't get much better. Pick any scene here and marvel at the artistry and framing - every visual choice the director makes is the right one. It's not just about the look though, this movie's got narrative sweep, compelling human stories, settings that spring to life and intense performances. It's got a profound theme, too, that binds the episodic structure together and steers us towards the movie's awesome conclusion. Final thing - I love the way Tarkovsky lets the camera linger. All the great directors do it, but AT is the master. It's like he's saying: 'Look at this. Look deeper. Take your time. Do you see what I see?" Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Raphael G Wow. Finally watched it, the last Tarkovsky movie that I missed. 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.
