- Andrei Tarkovsky's period piece, Andrei Rublev (1966), is in equal parts an epic staging of medieval Russia as it is an examination into the psychology of a conflicted man. This video will explore the film's themes, in particular its presentation of the relationship between art and religion.

So I’ve called Andrei Rublev - and in particular the 205-minute version, now known by its original working title “The Passion According to Andrei” - the closest thing you can get to a personal artist manifesto from me.
The core struggle - or passion if you like - is to be an artist of God on top of being a man of God. The question he is faced with is how to make art that reflects the Good, the True and the Beautiful in a world that not only seems to be devoid of those things, but rather indulges in the opposite. Relatedly, it’s also about how to make something close to permanence when the world is ultimately very impermanent. (The prelude is a singular illustration of this as you have someone literally raising from the ground in a hot air balloon … but it does crash. The moment is grand but doesn’t last.)
At any rate, nice job with the essay =]
This is criminally underrated! Please keep up the fantastic work!
