Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

SnoopyStyle Andrei Rublev is a celebrated 15th century Russian icon painter. This is a series of vignettes related to his biography. Honestly, I wouldn't have watched it if not for its inclusion in the top 250 list. It's definitely an academic necessity for any film fans. The first part has an adventurer test riding a hot air balloon while a superstitious mob rush to stop him. It's surreal and sets the tone of this movie as an ongoing tragedy. The second part is just as tragic. Andrei and his friends are traveling. They take shelter in a village where they are entertained by a jester. Soldiers arrest him for his dissident material. The third part is where I faded. While the first two parts laid down the tone, it doesn't explain our main characters. By the third part, I lose the thread to these characters. I'm not connecting with them. The movie gets epic in part five. It's definitely big and I think a horse gets killed for real. There are some eye-opening scenes and true devastation. Overall, this movie gives a general feel of the era. It lays out the never-ending Russian tragic sensibility. The missing part is that I lose the characters. I don't feel for them. If Russian cinema is your thing, this one is a must.

Kirpianuscus a historical film. at the first sigh. a film of faith. or one about changes and challenges and a man in the middle of storms, temptations , fears , looking the God and defining himself as part of a world so far by him. in fact, a film about art. art itself. simple, dramatic and powerful. delicate pledge for explore yourself. the best Tarkovski. like each of his films. I saw "Andrei Rublev" at different ages. the discovered essence was the same. the meanings of gestures, the sound of words, the need of Andrei to have the roots of the Truth are different paths to the same place. and this does so difficult to define it. and this impose a new and new watch. because the message has so many nuances. because it is a film for spiritual grow up. because the search of a Russian Medieval painter remains , after the final credits, yours search.

t-viktor212 What certainly makes Andrei Rublev a masterpiece of a movie is its tone. THe film is filled with really crude realism, darkness, religiousity that just makes you understand the times the film is set. Note that this kind of dark medievality is similar to the one appearingin the rest of Europe, so it helps picture the 1300s.The Famous iconographer I've never heard of before watching this movie, Andrei Rublev, is a very religious person living in a really dark time. While it doesn't show as much constant brutal violence as for example Schindler's list has, the minimal violence shown is still really shocking and brutal. As I stated above I didn't know much about this iconographer, so I searched, but found really little information about the character, maybe I'll learn something when we get to that form of art in school.I wouldn't say that this movie was "Beautiful" or that it had "great visuals". It wasn't a movie that gave you positive feelings in the end, because it wasn't meant to. It wasn't a movie with the sort of great visuals Stalker or The Mirror had. But nonetheless, Andrei Rublev is on of my favourite Tarkovskij films, together with the other two aforementioned films.

coolcarcasting The solace journeying of a young monk who's skills as a religious icon painter correlates as he travels from one monastery to another, this documents giant historic swaths of Russian history. From the terrors of marauding legions of Mongul hellions to celebrating pagan spring rites on a lovely riverside evening. Andrei Rubliev in his clean slate of uncluttered preconceptions walks a kaleidoscopic pallet for every being encountered, large and small, through this cinematic sojourn as a medium is redefined in the eyes of director Tarkovsky. It is a beckon of film creativity unmatched at the time of production. Suppressed for many years and shown sparingly in shortened forms in European art houses it remained largely unseen. Legend/myth/facts collide as Martin Scorsese finds the original unedited 208 minutes version under a mattress in countryside Russia in latter 1988, or so the story goes. This is a must see film for anyone who ever considered they thought themselves a critic or chronicler of cinematic poetry. The behemoth tale requires some serious attention and perhaps a token smidgen of bloodletting. After my initial viewing I wanted to toss half my DVD collection as this is what a movie should be. This could appear on most of not all 100 best films ever list if one cares. Watch it and have your inner life saturated with an abundance of celluloid wonder.
