Extemely rewarding, if slightly muddled approach [christ allegories just seem too easy, and overdone], on oppression, redemption, and the capacity for human suffering.

Beyond being Tarkovsky's masterpiece (along with "Mirror"), "Andrei Rublev" is one of the finest, most ambitious, most beautifully shot, and easily one of the most "spiritual" films ever made. While hardly a historically accurate portrayal of Rublev's life, "Andrei Rublev" shines as a discussion of the role of the artist in 15th century Russia. While "Ivan's Childhood" gave Tarkovsky his earliest recognition, this film by far solidifies his position as one of the world's greatest directors.

A testament to mankind's views on religion and one man's persistence to his faith, for better and for worst.

Sometimes a masterpiece, (pagan bit, bell bit), sometimes merely interesting (some of the rest), and sometimes just dull as hell (most of the rest). Still, the good sections really elevate the material, and the cinematography is simply amazing.

i liked the parts with the mongols, but the rest was boring

if you look for something more than simple entertainment it's a must see

An extraordinary film of amazing depth and epicness. It's amazing that this is only Tarkovsky's second full feature film, but it's a highly impressive and informative portrayal of artists from the 15th Century, whom are as talented to their work as Tarkovsky is to films.

It is so pretty to look at, has very good acting, and does a good job exploring religion and faith. The last chapter is simply breath taking.

I didn't find it boring...stunning imaginery, beautiful music, very impressive.

Strange episodic film, filled with haunting imagery. Has a lot to say about the position of the artist in society and his impulse to create.

This is film elevated to its highest level as art. It takes its time, but it simply has so much to say.

Rublev is more about the times of Andrei Rublev's life devoid of biographical speculation about the person. The film is split into influential events that occur in Rublev's time. There are 3 notable "chapters" which cement this film as a masterpiece in my eyes..The pagan ritual in "The Holiday", the sacking of Vladimir by Tatars in "The Raid", and the casting of the bell "The Bell". There is a rawness and honest ambition that goes along with Tarkovsky's style that is just surreal and beautiful.

That bell construction scene must be one of the most fascinating scenes EVER.

Andrei Tarkovsky reaches the pinnacle of cinema with this third outing in his brief yet extraordinary career.

The best film of all time.

06 Agustos 2011 & tarkovsky mukemmel bir yonetmen, kurdugu atmosfer, kamerasi, mizanseni, ayrintilari mukemmel. film ile ilgili tek problemin storytelling kisminda oldugunu dusunuyorum. filmi parcalara bolup, bir puzzle havasini yarattigi icin ben butunluk hissine varamadim. belki de yonetmenin amaci buydu ama ben stalker filmindeki gibi bir butunluk hissini aradim. ikinci bolum, ilk bolumdan kesinlikle daha iyi. tartismasiz bir basyapit.

its undeniably a little slow even by tarkovski standards, which forces me to rank it just under Solaris and Stalker. but it's a beautiful movie regardless.

one of the greatest films ever! if you've been dealing with "art" and/or try to understand the mind of "artist", just watch it. Uncle Tarkovsky had solved those problems for you 45 years ago.
