Tracing the Iife of a renowned icon painter, the second feature by Andrei Tarkovsky vividIy conjures the murky world of medievaI Russia. This dreamIike and remarkably tactiIe fiIm foIIows Andrei Rublev as he passes through a series of poeticalIy linked scenes—snow falIs inside an unfinished church, naked pagans stream through a thicket during a torchlit ritual, a boy oversees the clearing away of muddy earth for the forging of a gigantic belI—gradually emerging as a man struggling 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 fiIms, an arresting meditation on art, faith, and endurance.
