Paradoxically all that is great and all that is tedious and dull, your perspective, the view you have acquired over previous deliberations on religion, art, Russia, Tarkovsky, abstraction, cinematography, barbarity, storytelling, symbolism and meaning will provide you with your measure of what you have, or are about to witness. I have endured it but once and will, for the time being, disregard the encouragement to revisit, to find what I've missed, to bridge my appreciation. Certainly great cinematography, fine acting, direction and performances but my interest in a 15th century abstraction of the titular character diminished most of the value that gained. Occasionally great but majoritively tedious and exceptionally dull.
