Summary

Biographical drama starring Anatoly Solonitsyn and Ivan Lapikov. Andrei Rublev, one of the world's greatest artists, lived in an age of violence unequalled in Russia's turbulent history. As Rublev journeys through feudal Russia, his experiences lead him to break away from the tenets of his teacher. While Theophanes the Greek believed art should terrify men into repentance, Rublev's icons radiate profound spirituality and divine grace.

Review

A star rating of 5 out of 5.

David Parkinson

Divided into eight episodes and majestically photographed by Vadim Yusov, this is a remarkable study of the artist Andrei Rublev's struggle to create works of inspirational power and outstanding beauty, overcoming both his own doubts, and the poverty and cruelty of his time. Anatoly Solonitsin plays the 15th-century icon painter as a sort of wandering mystic who takes a vow of silence in protest at conditions in Russia under the Tartars. Director Andrei Tarkovsky includes too much impenetrable symbolism, but the battle, the balloon flight, the snow crucifixion, the casting of the bell and the colour montage from Rublev's work are utterly stunning.
