Andrei Rublev

marcus — Thu, 20 May 2010 06:36:04 +0000

This coming Monday, 24 May 2010, the Gala will screen the final film in the Silent Light: Faith on Film series. The film will be introduced by Prof Gerard Loughlin.

Andrei Rublev (15)

Immediately suppressed by the Soviets in 1966, Tarkovsky’s vast, freeform fresco on the life of Russia’s greatest icon painter is one of the few true epics of modern cinema, ranging from the brutal invasion of the Tartars to naked pagan rituals. Religious feeling is the emotional core, rather than the subject, of this film, one of the most gruellingly beautiful ever made.

Monday 24 May | 7.20pm | dir. Andrei Tarkovsky, 1966, 182 mins
