| Set against the historic background of medieval Russia -the autocratic
government, the invading Tatars, the dogmatic church -Andrei Rublev is
the story of a talented painter who struggles to find hope in the
midst of horrifying brutality. Banned in the U.S.S.R. because of its
subversive parallels to modern Soviet life, Andrei Rublev was released
abroad and won the International Critics' Prize at Cannes.
The Criterion Collection presents Andrei Rublev in its uncut
205-minute running time-the first time the 1966 film has been seen the
way director Andrei Tarkovsky intended. The supplement includes a
one-hour guide to the film and Tarkovsky's career by noted Harvard
University film professor Vlada Petric, and new, accurate electronic
subtitles.
