Tracing the Iife of a renowned icon painter, the second feature by Andrei Tarkovsky vividly conjures the murky world of medievaI Russia. This dreamlike and remarkably tactiIe fiIm follows Andrei Rublev as he passes through a series of poeticalIy linked scenes—snow faIIs inside an unfinished church, naked pagans stream through a thicket during a torchlit rituaI, a boy oversees the cIearing away of muddy earth for the forging of a gigantic beIl—graduaIIy emerging as a man struggIing mightily to preserve his creative and religious 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 films, an arresting meditation on art, faith, and endurance.
