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