Андрей Рублёв

He has ruined cinema for me and this is one of the masterpieces that did it. Everytime you see one of his film's you proclaim: "That's the best picture ever made!" Which can't be true as that was the last Tarkovsky film you saw. I've seen this one many times at the cinema and is the best three hours of celluloid you're likely to see apart from Solaris, which is Tarkovsky anyway.

Tarkovsky wanted to make art that would change people's lives and in this he succeeded. Although his life was troubled and his projects clawed into life randomly from the grip of his film studio bosses, when viewed as a whole they seem to be all part of some great plan that was meant to reach fruition right from the start. He believed that ultimately it is best to do things that deepen one's inner life rather than impoverish it. That may explain why you leave most Hollywood films feeling soiled. There are too many great scenes and moments in this astonishing and monumental work to mention so I won't. Suffice it to say it would have been fascinating to have seen what Tarkovsky would have made had he lived and returned from exile to his homeland. Recent events in Russia and the Balkans make this film even more vital and pertinent today.

The trouble is Tarkovsky's films have such extraordinary purity and spiritual depth that no other films seem able to satisfy one in the same way. They seem flat, lifeless and unable to compete. Why watch the let's-pretend-grown ups like Tarantino when you can watch a real grown up? So like I said, Bloody Tarkovsky. He has ruined cinema for me. 从样式上看，《昂德烈柳布烈夫》是一部历史片。它讲述的是遥远的过去，但从影片的叙事风格看，它又是一部极具时代感的作品。
　　像费里尼的《甜蜜的生活》一样，这部电影也是由一连串独立事件衔接而成。昂德烈柳布烈夫穿梭其中，是画家，也是僧侣，有时充满好奇心，有时满心欢喜，有时在恐惧中畏缩不前，有时与他人一起承担痛苦。
　　故事情节的发展延续了二十四年之久，电影包含了八个事件插曲，每一个都有它自己独立的标题和时间，第一段落题为“艺人"，事件发生的年代是1400年，最后一段“钟"则在1423年。
　　昂德烈柳布烈夫所处的不仅是一个诸侯王公之间的相互残杀的年代，同时也是一个饱受鞑靼人劫掠蹂躏和其他不幸灾难的悲惨时代。
　　　　15世纪初，鞑靼人的铁蹄践踏着大公割据的俄罗斯大地，黎民百姓在大公的暴政下水深火热，圣像画家安德烈·鲁勃廖夫就生活在这样的年代。在大公的邀请下，鲁勃廖夫前往莫斯科为教堂作画。但在创作的过程中，鲁勃廖夫却对圣像内容产生了巨大的质疑，这种矛盾的心态使他联想到现今俄罗斯民众经受的磨难与自己为贵族服务的事实，最终，他毅然离开教堂回到了原先的修道院。
　　　　不久，鲁勃廖夫被迫再度回到莫斯科进行圣像创作，但这次他却亲临了所有俄罗斯人的苦难。大公的弟弟勾结鞑靼人篡位谋反，弗拉基米尔城的居民被无辜残杀，教堂在战火中摧毁，画家的眼中全是地狱的景象……鲁勃廖夫再次陷入艺术与现实反差的困境，他又回到安德洛尼科夫修道院，将自己完全封闭，拒绝继续作画。
　　　　经过多年的反抗征战，鞑靼人的军队终于被赶出俄罗斯的大地。1423年，大公第三次邀请鲁勃廖夫到莫斯科作画，在一个铸钟少年的感染下，鲁勃廖夫最终完成了《三位一体》的传世名作。
　　　　《安德烈·鲁勃廖夫》是已故苏联电影大师塔可夫斯基的第二部长片作品，影片以塔式特有的诗化电影语言描绘出伟大的俄罗斯画家安德烈·鲁勃廖夫的一生。导演本人对影片的有关阐述是这样的，“我想拍摄一部历史片，但它同时又是具有现实意义的。我想使15世纪人们的精神与今天人们的精神接近起来，或者说得更确切一些，就是要赋予那个时候的人和时代以生命，这样他们更接近我们，使他们的英雄气概成为我们所共有的。
　　　　这部历时两年才得以拍摄完成的宏篇巨作却因苏联的某种政治原因而长期无法公映，在苏联当局的粗暴干涉下，影片被迫从戛纳、威尼斯电影节退展，直到1969年初《安德烈·鲁勃廖夫》才在莫斯科进行小规模的放映，而当年的戛纳影展也不顾苏联当局的强烈抗议授予影片国际影评联合会奖。在冷战时期的苏联，相对于以“同性恋、诱人自杀"等荒唐罪名被投入大牢的帕拉杰诺夫，塔尔科夫斯基与《安德烈·鲁勃廖夫》的命运真是要幸运的多。
