Inmates,

I hadn't seen "Andrei Rublev" in a long while- probably twenty years. This is because, for one thing, it's difficult to find, but more so it's such a viscerally memorable movie- absolutely terrifyingly violent and yet simultaneously so poetic and beautifully made by Tarkovsky that it's overwhelming seen too often. It's a movie not to get too used to.

Thinking of Andre Rublev and Tarkovsky's "Solaris" (1972) and the palpable yet surreal, dream-like qualities of both- one medieval, one in the future Sci-Fi, I think he was a greater emotionally subtle director then Bergman. It's worth watching once without the subtitles to concentrate on the ambience of the brilliant B&W photography. Color would've ruined it.

Solaris next!

Of course, Andrei R does have some color! I agree with your enthusiasm about Tarkovsky: - tinear 06:47:05 04/05/21 (0)

At my university, "Solaris" was a huge hit, as it was with many Western critics. Not a few - tinear 07:03:35 04/09/21 (2)

To students the Reds could do no wrong - Victor Khomenko 07:26:08 04/09/21 (1)

So Vadim Yusov was a slavish imitator of Nykvist? And Tarkovsky of Bergman? - tinear 05:33:23 04/10/21 (0)
