Andrei Rublev

Andrei Tarkovsky’s monumental 1966 drama weaves the spiritual odyssey of the medieval iconographer Andrei Rublev into a tapestry of 15th-century Russian upheaval. Through a series of encounters and retreats, Rublev grapples with artistic conscience and faith amidst chaos. Witnessing the horrors of war, he renounces his brush, silenced by the world’s cruelty. Only after years of isolation does he find the resolve to paint again, capturing the divine in a time of earthly strife.
