Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Rublev was a minor icon-painter of the early 1400s. Tarkovsky re-imagines him as a Christ-like cypher for the sufferings of a divided Russia under the Tartar invaders.

Stuns with the sort of unexpected poetic explosions we've come to expect from Tarkovsky.

rotten:
Since there always seems to be more going on in the head of the film's director than in the head of the man playing Andrei, the system did not work for me.
