Andrei Rublev
Renowned Soviet director Andrei Tarkovsky uses the life of the medieval icon painter (Solonitsyn)—who toiled in the face of barbarism to create visionary paeans to God—to craft a transcendent parable about the role of the artist in society. The awe-inspiring widescreen compositions have the same totemic majesty as Rublev’s own work, all rendered in hallucinatory black and white… until the glorious final moments.
