Additional InformationDirector Andrei Tarkovsky's second film, ANDREI RUBLEV, is a massive and sweeping retelling of the life of the 15th-century Russian icon painter and perhaps the first great Russian artist. Unfolding in a free-flowing series of eight episodes, ANDREI RUBLEV follows the painter (Anatoli Solonitsyn) as he faces unbearable violence, endless attacks by the crude and malicious Tartars, and, eventually, a crippling crisis of faith. A moving mosaic of time, spirituality, dreams, history, culture, and politics, Tarkovsky's masterpiece was immediately condemned by the Russian authorities, who waited years before giving it an official release. Despite this, the film endures as a wrenching testament to Tarkovsky's unique vision of the power of art and the duty of the artist. The film follows Rublev as he traverses the wretched earth of Russia in the Middle Ages, encountering jesters, fools, other artists, and the masses who eventually restore his faith in life and art. Tarkovsky's signature elliptical style, matched with stunning cinematography and breathtaking (and often nonnarrative) editing, creates a film unlike any other. Neither strict biography nor historical epic, ANDREI RUBLEV is the visual depiction of the mystical capacity for art to transform the struggles and joys of the human into the divine.

  • For those who appreciate quality cinema

    While there are several DVD editions of the movie, this Artificial Eye version from the U.K. is as notable as any. (The series also has other masterworks from Russian cinema.) The print is superb, and the entire movie has been furnished in this DVD. For those who appreciate director Tarkovsky's richness of vision, I really have very little to add. Not to be missed.

  • A classic of Russian cinema

    I saw the film initially years ago, and a lot of the visuals had remained in my memory. It's set in the early 15th century, a long film and very violent in some parts, very beautiful in others.
