Tonight's Movie!
We are starting early tonght! This is a long one, with an intermission.
The 15th century, in what is now Russia, what was the Soviet Union when Andrei Tarkovsky made this, was an unremittingly bleak time. Tatar raids, squabbling minor royalty, poor harvests - death and violence were an everyday part of life. And yet, we still make art even in the darkest of times. Andrei Rublev, the most famous of Medieval Russian iconographers and monk, wanders around the Rus and eventually takes a vow of silence. There's death, there's physical dismemberment (if ennucleation counts as dismemberment, I think it does); more than anything this is a masterpiece of what I call spiritual dismemberment - living with that much darkness and misery around you changes you, as a person. We've watched a couple of other films that portray the experience from different angles. This is coming from its own place.
I cut the film into the two parts it was orginially shown in so that we can have an intermission. Mosfilm did a restoration of the original version of Andrei Rublev, released under the title The Passion According to Andrei before being cut to the version which would see the widest release, in 2022, in 4K. It's a treat for the eyes.

I encourage everyone to at least skim the Wikipedia plot summary. I'll be explaining what's going on throughout the film as best I can.
CWs
There are several points where I will be giving a heads-up for some of the more disturbing scenes in the film. The dog does die in this film. So does a horse, very graphically. A cow is shown on fire (it was wearing an asbestos blanket and was not physically harmed). There is dogfighting. A few chickens are trampled during the raid on Vladimir. I will be putting warnings in the chat for the worst of it so anyone who doesn't want to watch, doesn't have to.
