![]() ![]() Maybe you should forget somethings, not all. Rublev: If you only remember evil things, you will never be happy before God. If Jesus came again, they would crucify him again. All follies and vile deeds were committed in the past and men are only repeating them now. They’ll forget you and me and everything. The next day they’ll forget why they praised you. They praise you today and vilify tomorrow. Id have taken vows of schema and live in a cave. Rublev: How can you paint being in this frame of mind? And you accept praises. And try to embellish ourselves to Almighty. All chapters are masterpiece in their own way but my personal favourite was the third one, ‘The Passion’ in which Andrei and Theophanes (Greek artist and mentor of Rublev) argue about religion: It is collection of 8 mini stories or 8 chapters named as The Jester, Theophanes the Greek, The Passion, The Holiday, The Last Judgment, The Raid, Silence and The Bell. It has most beautiful, mesmerizing visual ever on screen in my opinion. Most episodes are depicted form the mind of Tarkovsky’s imagination. Though it is slow but has demanding and unconventional structure of plot as Tarkovsky was known for. The movie is 205 minutes long and anyone can think it as slow and boring. Rublev: Its Sin to walk around naked and all thatĭourchka: This is the night when everybody must love. Showing that religious leaders were as important as rulers.ĭourchka: Why’d you abuse us? Threatened to burn us in fire? It also recalls that how medieval society were deeply religious, church influenced every aspect of people live from birth to death and how it ruled the rulers. The background is 15th Century Russia, a tumultuous period, and fighting between rival princess, Tatar invasions and growing forces of Byzantine Christianity. Theme of film includes artistic nature of characters looking for work, freedom, religion, politics, auto didacticism and creation of art under oppressive regime (Tsardom of Russia). Tarkovsky shows that artist as “world historic figure” and Christianity as an axiom of Russia’s historical identity. Nuri is Turkish film-director and his personal favourite movie of Tarkovsky was Andrie Rublev (1966).Īndrei Rublev (1966) is loosely based on the life of fifteenth century Russian iconographer and monk St Andrei Rublev, who was renowned as greatest creator of religious icons and frescoes. Andrei had influenced many directors like Terrence Malik, Bella Tarr and Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Lars Von Trier is known as the Carl Theodor Dreyer of this century. Lars Von Trier director of ‘Depression Trilogy’, ‘Anti Christ’, ‘Melancholia’ and ‘Nymphomaniac’ was so inspired by Andrei that he dedicated his film ‘Anti Christ’ to him. Akira Kurosawa and Ingmar Bergman later praised his movies and Ingmar hailed him as “the most important director of all time”. He was influenced by greatest directors like, Akira Kurosawa (director of Seven Samurai), Carl Theodor Dreyer (director of The Passion of Joan of Arc) and Ingmar Bergman (director of The Seventh Seal). And later two movies Nostalghia (1983) and The Sacrifice (1986) abroad due to his conflict with Soviet authorities. His first five movies Ivans Childhood (1962), Andrei Rublev (1966), Solaris (1972), Mirror (1975) and Stalker (1979) were directed for Soviet Union. He gave new language to cinema captured life as reflection and as dream. His directional style was different he explored spiritual and metaphysical themes, and was known for use to slow long takes with poetic narration. Like his father Andrei’s nature was poetic, nihilistic and existentialist which he converted it to his movies. She has become Nostalgia to me.Īndrei Tarkovsky was a Russian director and writer, born to Arseny Tarkovsky, the greatest 20th Century poet. And again it drove me back to the limbo of depression, because reminiscence and remnants of past are impossible to deal: they never leave. On last Monday I watched that movie again, and it stroked to me as nostalgic. While in love, and in intermittent condition it was hard for me to fathom the essence of the movie. ![]() ![]() Of course, one sided and in that period, I watched a film ‘Andrei Rublev’ directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. ![]()
