7.5/10
I don't think I've ever watched such a heavy movie in my life. Holy smokes. This thing is loaded less with the beautiful, hypnotic imagery of Stalker & Solaris (though it's there) and stuffed with exceptionally heavy musings on a bunch of different stuff, primarily art and religion...both individually and taken together. Tarkovsky's portrait of Rublev must be one of the most fully realized depictions of a historical figure ever in cinema, but I'll confess I wasn't exactly pulled in for all 3 hours, 41 minutes. I admired it more than I liked it, really. Still pretty staggering though, I can't imagine myself coming back to it any time soon.
