Andrei Rublev

Andrei Tarkovsky · 1966 CE · Film · Russian · Contemporary

The icon painter crosses fifteenth-century Russia in episodes: a jester arrested mid-performance, a pagan festival by the river, a commission disputed, and a Tatar sack of Vladimir he can find no answer to in paint. He takes a vow of silence and stops working. Art justified by ordeal.
