Back To Index Andrei Rublev
 Barnes & Noble Directed in 1966 by Andrei Tarkovsky, the filmmaker whom Ingmar Bergman once dubbed "the most important director of our time," Andrei Rublev was deemed unfit for viewers in the USSR and drastically edited by state censors. This uncut version, though, was a prizewinner at Cannes in 69 and has been widely embraced as one of the finest Russian films ever made. The black-and-white epics title character is a 15th-century Russian monk who is considered the countrys greatest icon painter. Rublev leaves his remote monastery to paint a great cathedral, but in his travels he encounters a chaotic landscape of pagan rituals, medieval brutality, and destruction wrought by the Tartar conquest. In the grips of a spiritual crisis, he eschews painting and takes a vow of silence. How can one create sacred works when the world is so savage? Haunting, poetic, and deeply lyrical, Andrei Rublev is at its core a meditation on the creative process, an exploration of how, through faith, the artist reconciles human suffering with spiritual aspiration.
