Andrei Rublev is internationally acclaimed as a cinema
masterpiece. In a recent article on Tarkovsky (Sight
& Sound), 27 critics from around the world were
asked to list the twentieth century's 12 best films
'from the point of view of history' and 'from the
point of view of film criticism'. Andrei Rublev made
the list. The British Film Institute, the custodian
of the world’s largest film archive, includes the
film on its list of the top movies of all time.
The film is a biography of sorts, telling the life
of Andrei Rublev, a 15th-century monk regarded as
Russia’s greatest icon writer. The film depicts a
turbulent period of Russian history, which was marked
by endless fighting between rival Princes and Tatar
invasions.
“Andrei Rublev: …a visually stunning movie, depicting
that which cannot be filmed.” (Chicago Chronicle)
