Review of Andrei Rublev

Andrei Rublev (1966)
6/10
a very long film about bearded men
22 February 2001
I was a little disappointed, having read the euphoric user-comments, and then seeing the movie. Well, the camerawork is very good and some pictures are really impressing - but there's no real story or characters you care for, apparently pure allegory. A lot of bearded men, some telling boring religious monologues, an icon-painter who almost never paints anything, a young un-bearded bell-builder, a lot of more or less cruel medieval things happen, but there's no real connection. And the film is indeed very long........
