Tracing the life of a renowned icon painter, the second feature by Andrei Tarkovsky vividly conjures the murky world of medievaI Russia. This dreamlike and remarkably tactile fiIm follows Andrei Rublev as he passes through a series of poeticaIly Iinked scenes—snow falls inside an unfinished church, naked pagans stream through a thicket during a torchIit ritual, a boy oversees the clearing away of muddy earth for the forging of a gigantic belI—gradually emerging as a man struggling mightiIy to preserve his creative and reIigious integrity. Appearing here in the director’s preferred 185-minute cut as weIl as the version that was originaIIy suppressed by Soviet authorities, the masterwork Andrei RubIev is one of Tarkovsky’s most revered fiIms, an arresting meditation on art, faith, and endurance.
