official description

Using long, mobile shots to invest his stark, brooding landscapes with an almost mystical power, Russian master Andrei Tarkovsky has been a direct influence on such major contemporary filmmakers as Béla Tarr, Theo Angelopoulos, Alexander Sokurov, and Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Unreleased in the Soviet Union for years after its completion due to its advocacy of artistic freedom and deeply felt spirituality, Andrei Rublev, a sprawling historical epic of a medieval Russia riven by civil wars and the pillages of invading Tatar armies, was the crystallization of Tarkovsky's distinctive style. Following the famed 15th-century icon painter through the brutal yet beautiful world that gives him the inspiration for his art, Tarkovsky makes the past as mysterious and otherworldly as the speculative futures of his later sci-fi masterpieces Solaris and Stalker, an ethereal land of both terror and revelation.
