The jester, Kirill, Donil, the bell-maker, and, of course, Andrei's portrayals are masterful examples of the natural style of acting. With the exception of Bergman's, "The Seventh Seal," no film transports the viewer so convincingly into the Dark Ages.
It is impossible not to spend hours afterwards visiting the themes of belief and religion, "primitive" violence, and the crucial collision of art and faith. Whew.
Yes, the film is slow and the measured cadence of the occasional narrator can lull one into a reverie, necessitating some rewinding--- but few films reward one's patience so fully. This is a perfect example of how film can transcend its apparent narrative and visual limits, becoming a singularly powerful, complex art form wherein philosophy and metaphysics are crystallized into diamond.
I'm almost scared to go on to the next Tarkovsky film in my line, "Stalker."
