One of the Vatican's top 15 films. A special Criterion Collection digitally restored DVD of the complete 205 minute director’s cut of Tarkovsky’s acclaimed epic hailed as one of the greatest films ever, this is about the horrors that 15th century monk and icon painter, Andrei Rublev witnesses on his Dante-like journey into medieval Russia. The harrowing journey causes him to stop painting and almost despair, but he survives the cruelties of the brutal Tartar regime and creates dazzling works of art. Russian with English subtitles.
