Andrei Rublev (1973)

I love this movie so much

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Tarkovsky's magnum opus. Made way back in 1966, the visuals are still awe inspiring. An epic retelling of the life of the painter-monk set in turbulent medieval Russia. Tarkovsky paints Rublev as almost an Christ-like figure who repents for the sins mankind commits and uses themes of artistic freedom, religion, art under authoritarian regime. Controversial at the time of it's release, a strong spiritual movie from the atheistic USSR, today this is an undisputed Masterpiece. Arguably the Russian Auteur's best work.

The life, times and afflictions of the fifteenth-century Russian iconographer. Andrey Rublev was unfortunately not different from any of the other movies that i've seen from the list and definitely not a good religion film as well as let's say 'Passion of the Christ' and definitely also not a good story as well. The film is also way to long and close to 3 and a half hours and why really should it be that very long? What's the purpose of the movie being that long? The answer? Really? There's no explanation cause it just didn't need that much of a time but.. (0/10)

I never expected action scenes in a Tarkovsky movie! This is probably the most dynamic and diverse movie from his entire filmography! Deep, epic, emotional, meditative atmosphere, shocking scenes, philosophical themes, subtle dialogue scenes, stunning visuals; I'm telling you... this is the opposite of boring!

I recently had the pleasure of my first viewing of Andrei Tarkovskys 1966 masterpiece, "Andrei Ruvlev", which ultimately had quite an impression on me.It is the most visually moving film I've seen. Until Rublev, I didn't truly understand how stunning and engaging a film could be. The vignettes of Russian life are very thought-provoking, the cinematography the best I've seen, and the result is a film that moves me every time I watch it.There's this one bit where the pagans are all naked and you get to see, like, maybe 20 naked women, but they're sort of in the distance so you don't really get a proper look, but if you rewind and pause there's some frames that are pretty good and none of them are all that old or anything so it's pretty awesome. Then there's this bit where some guy is tied up and the leader of the women comes in and she strips off and you can totally see her boobs and theyre really nice and then she wants to make love to the man but he's not into it so she unties him and lets him go.Approach it with an open mind, and be prepared for a slowly unfolding story. Do this, and you'll be deeply rewarded and satisfied in a way that few films will ever match. There are no cliches here, no stereotypes and no sucking up to the audience. A brutally honest and yet very moving, touching and optimistic film. And it is not about the nature of a genius. Rather, it is about a man's ability and duty to preserve and be true to his humanity, his freedom, his soul, his heart and his gift, no matter what century it is or what the circumstances are. Watch it to remind yourself of what it really means to be human.10 Stars.
