About
Andrei Rublev
Beautiful and mesmerizing. I applaud the experimentation and narrative ambiguity Tarkovsky uses to tell his story, but I wish he showed the same restraint in the emotional content. Though there is slightly more irony and humor (of a kind) here than in Stalker and The Sacrifice, for example, the repetition and dramatic underscoring of theme does the subtly of the film a disservice. But I'm nitpicking a moving work.
