1966, Andrei Tarkovsky, Soviet Union, 183 mins. In Russian with English subtitles | Format: Digital. A mesmerizing portrait of an artist and cleric undone by a world that is cruel, chaotic, unexplainable. With his second feature, a towering epic that took him years to complete, Andrei Tarkovsky waded deep into the past and emerged with a visionary masterwork. Threading together several self-contained episodes, the filmmaker traces the renowned icon painter Andrei Rublev through the harsh realities of 15th-century Russian life. Appearing here in Tarkovsky's preferred 183-minute cut, as well as the version that was originally censored by Soviet authorities.
