There's some amazing shots in the film. And I like Boriska and his story. But almost everything before him is dull. Tarkovsky somehow manages to make even a brutal pillaging look boring. I don't care at all about Rublev or his religious struggles or his guilt or his artistic blah blah. This is the kind of thing Bergman does far more elegantly in less than half the time. It's also a tad confusing at times, which is to be expected when almost every main character is "that guy with the beard."

You know how when a movie is based on a book you haven't read you still expect it to make sense? I feel that way about the Bible sometimes. What I got generally was an artist despairing while masons and carpenters labor around him, making flying machines and huge wood stockpiles and buildings. A giant bell mold becomes a crucible where faith transforms into miracle. But sweet white baby Jesus the final shot of the trinity icon is so interminable it leaves me exasperated instead of inspired.

A beautiful movie that gave me a lot to think about. The acting is strong, the visuals stunning, and the start and end are quite fun. The middle, however, drags and lasts nearly 2 hours. The characters are sometimes hard to distinguish, the episodic nature of the story keeps the film somewhat lively but also makes it harder to follow and all the religious talk fell flat on me. Basically I appreciate the hell out of it, I might even go so far as to say I liked it, but I didn't enjoy it much.

Many parts are quite extraordinary. The POV opening: very good. The action throughout: beautifully done. I even liked the slower, more meditative scenes. Nothing can excuse the last hour. Completely eschewing everything that went before it, Tarkovsky suddenly decides to chronicle the production of a bell! The very end isn't my idea of a good joke, either. In fact, having just spent over 3 hours of my life, I considered it an insult. So I recommend you turn it off when the annoying girl shows up.

Wow. Andrei Rublev is the best film I've seen in a while. It is extremely long (about 3 and a half hours), but the great pacing and the constant beautiful imagery keeps you mesmerized throughout all of it. Andrei Rublev is full of great images and symbolism, most of which represent religon, and has many beautiful lines that will make your jaw hit the floor. Rublev is filled with slow moving scenes, as well as fast paced chaotic scenes that will change the mood often. A very rare film experience.

On one hand I appreciated this film as insight into Russian art history and culture. On the other hand, it's painfully long and could easily have been trimmed to 50% or less of the epic length it encompasses. Unless the viewer is already as enthralled with the subject matter as the makers were, they will not be comfortable sitting through this. As such, this is not recommended for general audiences or even film students--probably best only for Russian- or art-historians.

On man's capacity for cruelty (and horse's, for that matter). Violence and filth, punishment and misery. To suffer and, for the enlightened, to endure. Andrei is a companion of the same year's Balthazar. It is clear that this is a towering, ringing, singular achievement, but in truth it's one for which my appreciation is mostly academic rather than devout.

Andrei Rublev isn't so much a portrait of his life, but more an insight into people struggling against life's moral and religious demands for the sake of pursuing art. A couple of the acts feel a bit unnecessary, but I suppose they contribute something towards immersing you in that particular zeitgeist, or at least Tarkovsky's personal vision of it. The final act with Boriska (Nikolai Burlyayev, who's as precocious as he is in Ivan's Childhood) is so fraught with agony, and easily the best.

(Based on and review for part 1:) You'll get much more out of it if you approach it as it were a black comedy, with the reason being that it largely is a black comedy. From apathetically and ruthlessly assaulting people for minor infractions such as dancing and being happy to hypocritcally condemning those who celebrate love while voyeuristically spying on them, this most of all functions as a bleak satire.

Moody, philosophical and dull, as one can expect from Tarkovsky. There are some adequately interesting conflicts on religion here (particularly in the first half) and the cinematography can be jaw-dropping. But I simply can't invest in a story -for 3 1/2 hours no less- where the pathos seems so staged and superficial (Nikolay Burlyaev's performance being a possible exception). Ultimately, its grandiose final montage leaves little impact -"Andrey Rublyov" strikes me as a cold sort of beauty.

The best aspect of the film is the cinematography: the locations are gorgeous and it's just one of those films where ever shot is absolutely perfectly framed and organized. The rest of the film is slow, complicated and scattered, which is of course par for the course for Tarkovsky, but I think he meets his tipping point here. The only scenes that I found truly engaging were those involving Kirill, but unfortunately this is a minor section of the film. The worst parts of the film drag on forever.

Not really a movie about Andrei Rublev or his art as much as it is a meditation on being an artist, with heavy political and autobiographical references. Too bad, I find Tarkovsky commenting on Tarkovsky to be dull. Still, I have to admit he's got talent with a camera.

It was a beautifully shot film with nice cinematography. It's loosely based on the 15th century Orthodox icon painter, Andrei Rublev, and the setting is wonderful. Really convincing medieval scenery. Religious imagery isn't heavy handed. Even if you're an atheist I think you could appreciate it. The movie also asks some important questions, along with examining how an artist deals with the times. Even though I wasn't as entertained by it as I could have been, it's still masterfully done. See it

Spectacularly mounted epic has many stunning images and arresting sequences, especially thanks to Tarkovsky’s sedate, though laser-focussed eye behind the camera which allows the viewer to slowly and gradually drink in the enormous scale and detail of the world (and journey) he has created. So overwhelming as a totality that you can forgive a second hour which almost succumbs to sleepiness, before pulling everything together for the “bells” finale, done on a scale which would make Herzog proud!

At least two chapters are masterpiece-level, and the composition throughout is some of the greatest of all time. But so much of it feels too opaque, the chapters too disconnected to properly tell the story of a life. I also don’t find Rublev himself to be a very compelling character - I found myself frequently frustrated with him more than anything else. When this movie works, it soars. I just felt like a lot of it was nowhere near the level of Tark’s best.

Tarkovsky captures some of the deepest and fundamental truths about life in his film about the 15th century Russian icon painter. In the first 2/3 of the film, he captures the terror, sadness and hypocrisy of life, and then vividly shows why we carry on anyway in the sublime final hour. One of the very best films ever made.

The Real Artist - A massive study examining only the passages of time between creation. The creative voids opened by suffering, violence, and faithlessness/faithfulness around and inside of Andrei. A 3 hour contemplative war between true sacrifice and creative obligation. As ambitious, empathetic, and impressive as cinema is capable of being.

At over twice the runtime, Andrei Rublev isn't as immediately visually or thematically arresting as Ivan's Childhood, but when Tarkovsky hits those highs it's undeniably beautiful. I can't believe he threw a horse down a flight of stairs.

Has the look of a good movie but the feel of a boring one. Tarkovsky's other work has more purpose in its philosophical ramblings or slow camerawork but in this one, everyone is just rambling and everything is tedious. Inexcusably thin despite the long length and an interesting premise/character.

Very, very little of this film resonates with me, and the cinematography--one of the aspects to most look forward to in a Tarkovsky film--is perhaps some of the most uninspired he's done. The second half of this film assuages the first half's dreadfully torpid pace but, all the same, I simply struggled to become whatsoever invested in the narrative and, more crushingly for a Tarkovsky film, in the imagery. Can't ever see myself watching this again. Ever.

How would they have made films in Russia in the fifteenth century? It seems to me that Andrei Tarkovsky was as much fascinated by such questions as by the difficulty of knowing for sure what the painter Rublev did or what he was like. Obsessed with rain and fire, saintliness and abandon, the film is a celebration of a pagan age when no cause or claim has authority. Tarkovsky's epic stance reveals his single handicap: the lack of humor and the way in which that slows his grinding pace.

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.

Beautifully done epic story of Russian history, (iconic) art history and a strugle with one's belief. But the story is very hard to follow; it takes a lot of attention to get the best out of it.

Perhaps twenty years since I saw this, and the score is not certain. My recollection is that it seemed to capture the feeling of the 15th century as a time of strangeness, ignorance, cruelty and fear, but that the last section about the bell somehow undermined this and perhaps became a Tarkovskian variation on socialist realism, with a Christian, artistic inflection. Other people seem to like that section best, so I cannot say that my recollections are to be in any way trusted. Poor horse.

“The artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were perfect…” 
“This is the law of life, its real meaning: We cannot impose our experience on other people or force them to feel suggested emotions. Only through personal experience we understand life.” - Andrei Tarkovsky. “A Poet of the Cinema” Andrei Rublev had to experience turmoil and pain in his life and his paintings that, still today, portray symbolisms and tales behind it. Fascinating!

I did not expect this, not even a bit. If poetry would be one film, this would be it. Andrej Rubljev is peak cinema and also peak contemplation. Movie is visually and aesthetically near perfect, the realism of medieval Russia is astonishing (Kubrick-like attention to detail, though it's maybe the other way around), the biblical themes are present throughout the film, so are more philosophical themes of those of morality, relation to higher... Andrei's character was odd, gotta say that.

I didn't get bored like I expected but I think this was an unsuccessful movie compared to Solaris and Stalker. It was uneccessarily long. I am not against long movies but if you decide to do a 3 hour movie you should know that the audience will not follow especially if it is black and white. Stalker is a perfect exception of this phenomena; secret meanings under that film makes audience want more and more. %50 of this movie was redundant. I am giving a break to watching Tarkovsky after this. :)

There's a lot to untangle here -- especially since plot threads weave in and out over 3.5 hours -- but I thought this was a much more enjoyable discussion of the creativity of an artist than was "8 1/2." (Maybe that's because most of the characters had some sort of hope of a purpose, whereas Fellini seemed to revel in the absence of purpose.)

I'd say it succeeds admirably at portraying medieval Russia. It's a long, slow-moving film, but it's shot very well by Andrei Tarkovsky, who was very ahead of his time. I did feel somewhat alienated from all the religious and spiritual stuff, as I'm not familiar with it, but the film does have a real beauty and poetry to it. As with other Tarkovsky films, it's not for everyone, but certainly worth watching for any cinephile.

Tarkovsky is among the greatest of all time, and his sprawling, sporadic look at Russian history, art, and religion is fascinating. He seems to be operating on a different plane of filmmaking. Being straightforward is boring. He doesn't hold your hand. Instead he tosses strong images at the canvas and questions of faith and morality. It doesn't all hold together, but what does, does so beautifully.

With its deliberate pacing and episodic structure, this movie moves like a meditative, wonderful, sometimes terrifying dream. Tarkovsky's camerawork is exceptional, and the events of each segment are always engaging. There are a few scenes that'll likely stay with me for a long time. The Raid sequence, with its unexpected gruesomeness, is especially memorable, as is the final section about the construction of the bell. Throughout it all is an underlying cohesion that's difficult to explain.

Tarkovsky's unconventional epic is an astonishing tapestry of the human condition that practically demands a second, and third, viewing.

It's good, but It could've been half as long and it would've still had the same impact on me. The chapter with the bell tower is by far the most interesting part.

Andrei Rublev is a roughly concocted and unadulterated monolithic personage of Russia's putatively known greatest iconographic painter. It artfully renders a loose juxtaposition via a chronological chapter-based plot arc with a contoured approach to Rublev's artistic triumph's and religiously-affiliated transgressions superimposed by an adroitly crafted chronicle of medieval Russia's tumultuous episodes and chaos-laden trajectories. A visionary tale of the incessant mutiny amid art and religion.

The subject of the need for art in a grim, cruel world has been tackled before in this medium and in others, but never quite as effectively as in Andrei Rublev.

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.

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.

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.

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.

starts off good enough, but keeps building up steam until the final part "the bell" and that part is dazzling. facinating story, and you can tell tarkovsky has made his mark on this movie. suffers from overacting at times, but the sweeping, epic story more than makes up for it.
