Immediately suppressed by the Soviets in 1966, Tarkovsky’s masterpiece is a sweeping tale of the tribulations of a medieval icon painter as he tries to reconcile his faith, his art, and the savage reality around him. Opening with an indelible balloon ride, a procession of jesters, pagans, monks, Tartars, and Boyars fill the Scope screen as wars rage, lawlessness reigns, and Rublev ascends from wandering vagabond to Church-commissioned artist. Tarkovsky’s epic panorama is soulful in its mysticism and commanding in its formalism. “It’s difficult to think of another film that attaches greater significance to the artist’s role…The film provides an entire world…A 360-degree pan around a primitive stable conveys the wonder of creation. Such long, sinuous takes are like expressionist brush strokes.”—J. Hoberman, The Village Voice.
