57 years ago I was one of many "actors" who pull rope to lift big bell from hole. I was near Tarkovsky, Usov, Burlyaev, two weeks. Good memories. I was 15, just summer brake after 9 grade. We were payd ₽3 per day :). My first job.
Llike another REALITY. YES ??? I'm sure..Films like this one, are Parallel Universes ...We watch suspended knowing that isn't True, but somehow it is ...Blessings .
Still remember how blown away I was when I first saw this film back in the 1980s when I began my Russian language studies. Simply an unforgettable cinematic experience. Thank you Mosfilm for remastering and now broadcasting this masterpiece of Soviet cinema.
@@sopranos8961 I knew it was a masterpiece after first watching it on the tv in 1980 (see the top ranked comment by yours truly) - but I guess it does help if one is also interested in medieval and Russian history... :)
One of the towering masterpieces in the history of cinema. I first watched this, aged fourteen, in a screening on Swedish tv (someone had written a few lines about it in the tv pages of the local paper and thankfully I decided to watch it). This was back in 1980, while the director was still alive - I had no real idea who he was though. The film ran fairly late at night for two nights with a few days in between, and I sat through both parts alone with rapt attention (it did help that I was very interested in medieval history). :) I was really impressed, and the next year got mum with me to watch Stalker at the movie theatre. After that we both knew the man was a genius, and we have since watched Rublev several times, on dvd and in the theatre. :)
@@tvaripo5038 He was indeed a genius, and he was Russian - he could have come from nowhere else. :) Our own Ingmar Bergman and his cinematographer Sven Nykvist felt the same after they had first seen this epic at Bergman's private cinema (in his home on the island of Fårö, Sweden) at some point in the late 1960s. Around fifteen years later, Nykvist would photograph Tarkovsky's final film, Sacrifice, mostly on the same island.
@@louise_rose I share that same fascination for Bergman's filmography. I firts watched the "Seventh Seal" in Athens at what we call hear "θερινά σινεμά" meaning "cinemas under an open sky without roof" and i am still unable to describe how haunted i felt from that film. The next augustian night i was again in the same place, and i kept on watching this movie for seven consecutive nights like a ritual!!! Thereafter I didn't miss not even one film from this authentic auteur. Greetings from Athens! We adore russian cinema and Bergman's filmography!!
@@pietranera22 Oh yes, I have seen many of Bergman's films myself and feel a bit proud that he was ours! :) Truly a national treasure, even if IB himself wouldn't have wanted to be called that. "Fanny and Alexander" airs on Swedish tv almost every Christmas (with its lovingly created early 20th century dream Christmas episode) and lots of Swedes have it on video in some format. :) I first saw "The Seventh Seal" as a child, I would have been eleven years old, it was a tv screening. I loved it, would say I also understood some of its deeper sense: it's a film that goes over well with kids I think... :) So I began checking out his films, whenever they turned up (this was at the dawn on the home video age, so getting them on video wasn't an option yet).
This is my 2nd chance to watch and appreciate this masterpiece. I was too immature as a college freshman in 1991 to appreciate it when the Film Society on campus showed it one night. I left bored, after 30 minutes to attend a beer party. A few days later I tried to watch it again (the memories of images of the film kept haunting me), but our film library didn't have it (the copy was privately owned by a student). I gave up. Now I'm reunited with this film, and it only took 3 decades!!!
Nor should these precious gifts of Mosfilm be subjugated to the crassity of the Hollywood hyenas. Tarkovskij merits status of global cultural patrimony come from UNESCO.
Incredible film. Unlike any other I've seen, so different that I didn't really understand what was happening at the beginning but I kept watching because I was being affected deeply the whole time I was watching it. I'm left now with a sense of awe as the final scene really put all the pieces together in my head and it finally made sense
This is the cinematic equivalent of a huge, visionary Russian novel, and it takes on several questions that remained critical in the Soviet Union but often were hard to discuss openly in art and literature: the role of the artist and his conscience in society, political hypocrisy, persecution of dissenter groups (the "heretic" sect worshipping at the river), faith, suffering and survival across national disasters. Also (to echo your comment) in some ways it's unlike any other evocation of the middle ages I've seen on film.
The "logic" of this film is both narrative and aesthetic. It compels us to watch, many times without narratively understanding what we're seeing because it's so beautiful and yet, so real.
First saw this classic of Russian cinema maybe 20 years ago in Paris with a beautiful green eyed Russian lady named Dascha I was seeing. It's made to be seen on a large screen format otherwise one misses the background details and activities of people that are relevant to the film. Later on visiting Dascha in Moscow we went to the Rublev cathedral and attended many services at Rublev monastery that is just north of Moscow.The charismatic actor that plays Boris and steals the picture was a huge star and had a long career in many films. I ended up living in Moscow for 7 years and still miss deeply that amazing city. Incidentally, Andrei Tarkovsky's father was a noted poet and is buried in the famous Russian cemetery along with the ballet dancer Rudoph Nureyev and other well known Russians that is located just outside Paris.
One of the greatest and best movies I have ever seen. Firstly I found out about this famous icons writer, Saint Monk Andreii Rublev was when I started to support Russian tennisplayer, Monte Carlo champion, one of the best, most skillful, admirable, one of the kindest person on tour Andrey Rublev. I wanted to gained some more information about tennisplayer Andrey Rublev and I found out randomly that in the past lived Saint Andreii Rublev, humble Russian monk with strong faith in God, one of the greatest medieval Russian painters of Orthodox Christian icons and frescos. I was impresed by life, asceticism and artwork of Saint Andreii and I started to gain information about this great painter, while once I found out that there is a movie about him. Very beautiful, breathtaking masterpiece, this movie has got a strong message inside and I think that it can change your outlook on life. Huge admiration and respect to Mr. Tarkovskij for making this masterpiece. 👏 Btw. Also one interesting fact, once I read that tennisplayer Andrey Rublev said himself, that he has got an icon of Holy Trinity in his room. ☦️❤
Great movie, I like it better than other Tarkovsky films. I first saw it in a movie theater focusing on 'art films' back in the 70s as an undergrad, and again recently on DVD. Being a Greek born on the island of Crete, I was especially interested in my fellow Cretan who taught Rublev to paint, Theofan (Feofan in Russian) the Greek. At his time, 1400 or so, Crete was govrned by Venice (1208-1669).
I saw this film in the Cameo cinema (an art house venue) in Edinburgh around 1972. I emerged in a trance, because of the power and emotion of the entire story. The brutality was of life at that time. The word shocking, in its real sense, is apt. For pure cinema, as both a visual spectacle and the triumph of art, it is unsurpassed!
The film is based on the life of Russia's greatest icon painter - canonised as a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1988. But the film is not about painting, it is about power (arbitrary and unjust, whether of Man or sometimes it seems of God), suffering, the search for a better world, and the quest for meaning ... in art. In icon painting for Rublev, in cinema for Tarkovsky.
Wow what a masterpiece... I had to watch this film in parts since I'm the mother of two lil ones but I'm in awe, I burst in tears when Andrei broke his bow of silence consoling Boris... Such a powerful film... I must confess when the Tartars broke into the church and torture the one fellow it was difficult to watch without felling an absolute repulsion to such cruelty but none the less I am in love with Andrei Tarkovky and his incomparable art. Thanks for uploading Mosfilm. Greetings from Morelia!
Да, очень сильный момент который чувствуешь душой, особенно мальчишка так рыдает аж захлёбывается. Утешить мальчишку стоило того, чтоб нарушить обет молчания.
This film is like a huge canvas where Tarkosky (Filmmaker and Poet) paints his vision of Rubliov. You see in same sequence things happening at the forefront, sometimes with Rubliov, and at the same time things happening in the background, horses or people moving. Majestic Film. Thanks so much for uploading this almost"religious"film. 🙏.
One of my favourite movies from the great Russian film director Andrey Tarkovsky. Along with Solaris, Stalker, Ivan's Childhood and his other films, he created an incomparable, unique and wonderful visual world. Thank you Mosfilm for making this masterpiece available to watch!
Truly a unique movie, eschewing almost all the usual tenets of biography and focusing more on showing the times he lived in that motivated his life and his art.
Halfway through and I'm blown away. A few days ago I watched Stalker for the first time. I had been aware of the film for some years, it just took that long for me to come across it accidentally. I'm fascinated with Russia and the Russians anyway having read Marchenko and Solzhenitsyn when young, and most of Dostoevsky more recently, with forays into other authors along the way. I watch a few Russian blog channels, Bald and Bankrupt, and have a great liking for the Eastern European culture. So when another Rublev film popped up I saved it instantly, only to come across this one. I love the long shots that hold the scene for minutes on end, they suit my love of detail so much more than constant and rapid changes of POV in a film. I've co-directed one very small film invioving maybe a hundred volunteer extras, and we achieved most of it by changing camera shots in the edit. The skill to direct a scene that is shot from a static point at a long distance, almost seems like a painter. That, and actors, acting.
Nice to see somebody posting Tarkovsky movies that are a refreshing change from some of the cliche, derivative assembly line movies offered by streaming services these days
Thank you for bringing this film to my attention. Somehow, i lucked out and it popped up in my list on the right. It's such a historical and artistic masterpiece.
An entire book could be written just about the footage of horses in this film - their graceful movements, the way they are positioned in the frames, how they represent the beauty of God's Creation, and so on.
This is some crazy convenience Mosfilm! Last week I stumbled across this movie, wanted to watch it and only saw russian versions of it... Today I watched a Russian movie on your channel and while checking all other vids I see Andrei Rubles was just added! Thanks for sharing!
There are scenes in this film that can never be shot the same way with that much power ever again. I cried when the horse bled and fell off the rampart.
I think the most moving and significant scene in the whole movie, which is in itself a work of art in every way, is the crucifixion scene. It encapsulates the essence of the human beings, constantly on the look out for a deliverance from their own demons, that never occurs. I know this movie was subjected to censorship in the USSR, and yet, it is a parable of what Russia and the Russians have been going through in so many centuries, trying to see beauty in the mud. I am sure that the panel that saw the movie for the first time must have found it immensely potent.
you described it very closely when you said that we Russians trying to see beauty in the mud, we feel it as a living close experience of communicating with God through all these hardships and trials

This movie was recommended to me by my Ancient Greek teacher after i told her am interested in priesthood and some of my views in the world,i thank her a lot for this.
I saw this film when I was a boy. My parents were white Russian refugees who fled to Australia in the 60's and were given this on video by a friend. I have been trying to find this film for nearly 40 years.
@@signoguns8501 Well he could have never renounced his Russian citizenship as he never had one as Russia didn't gain independence before his death but it's quite obvious that he had at least some type of love or patriotism for Russia based off the text in this movie..
@@signoguns8501 It also doesn't negate the fact that his movies are apart of Russian culture and he is a Russian cultural icon just because he spent about 5 years in the west.
@@user-hw3ru3qz3l Sure, he was obviously very influenced by certain aspects of Russia, but he quite obviously despised the totalitarian/authoritarian streak in the Russian psyche. He was an artist and totalitarian societies always restrict artistic freedoms and penalize free expression. Renouncing your citizenship is a big deal. He didnt consider himself a Russian citizen any longer and he wanted the world to know that.
Would you happen to have Nostalgia? I've never seen it but distinctly remember this one scene from it where this guy tried to keep a candle light from going out, and for some reason when watching that scene in my college dorm room, by myself it got a bit emotional to me. Like on a personal level. Ever since I've been tracking down the name of the film, and learn as much as possible but not enough to spoil it before I see it for myself.
There is a version of it without subtitles only on youtube, if you search for it in Russian ("Ностальгия Тарковский") But if you want one with subtitles, there is one one available amazon. It's been on my list for ages, and I think I'll watch it soon thanks to your comment, - it's created such a vivid image in my mind, and I myself often experience a similar feeling. Thank you!
Por favor pongan las películas con subtítulos en castellano. Hay muchos amantes del cine ruso en Latinoamérica que estamos esperando para ver joyas como esta.
@2:33:00 from here to the end of the film, the whole thing with the Bell 🔔 Ahh, what unique genius and an expression of artistic process. And life. The everything.
The video quality restoration is great, but it has absolutely terrible English subtitles and it seems there is no way to turn it off? For example: the monk says: "Спаси Христос, хозяюшка!" i.e. "May Christ save you, good hostess!" but the subtitle translates it as "Many thanks, madam!" - really? What kind of professional translation is that??
im not even 15 minutes in and im not russian nor know it but i could tell something is off about the translations and subs, because it ignores dialogue alot
Wonderful movie. I'm speechless. I needed to look up a little about Andrei Rublev to help me understand the movie better, though I still have tons of questions . . Man, these Russians just cannot make a regular mediocre movie. Something like 8-0 with me now. What a career Anatoly Solonitsyn had . . Andrei here, the acerbic Sartorius in Solaris, some guy in The Mirror, an asshole defector in The Ascent, and the 'writer' in the movie Stalker . .
I'll get back to you soon as I am studying this film . Ok this is remarkable 👏 Now I'm studying the next piece. Comedy is very different. " You do not follow the dictates of your heart " I will stop there tonight A lot of concentration.
If you only remember evil things, you will never be happy before God. Maybe you should forget some things, not all. I came here from that quote on instagram
@@louise_rose I wouldn't have bothered, though, if I'd know someone was about to put it up on here! :) The film itself isn't quite what I expected; I thought it would be more meditative.
@@paddymeboy I think the second half is the visually most striking one, that's where it grows into a truly epic/dramatic film. The attack on the city (of Vladimir?) is certainly a glorious piece of cinema, syrongly influenced by Kurosawa (another hero of mine). :)' I first watched it in a tv screening in early 1980, it was split up over two nights with a couple of days in between (at the time, tv screentime rarely went beyond midnight, at least not here in Sweden). I didn't know anything much about the director but decided to have a look, and was very impressed for sure, even with the sometimes slow first part - but I've never had trouble accepting when a work of art is taking its time. :)
@@louise_rose I don't mind it taking its time, I was actually surprised it was so (relatively) action-packed! A Hollywood movie over 2 hours is usually unbearable but, with some Old World directors, the longer the better. I hadn't seen this or anything of Tarkovsky's till now, I stumbled across it in an internet list of 'Great 3-hour movies' - I like a good 3 hour movie in which, ideally, nothing at all happens. :) I get the Kurosawa influence, though, I can certainly see that in the battle scene.
From Wki: A skomorokh was a medieval East Slavic harlequin, or actor, who could also sing, dance, play musical instruments and compose for oral/musical and dramatic performances.
My number one favorite film of the 1960s, a lot of people would usually pick The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (1968), Lawrence of Arabia (1962) or 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
As someone who finds religion infuriatingly stupid before and after all, this movie should be intolerable, yet it is top five best movies I've ever seen.

I think the most moving and significant scene in the whole movie, which is in itself a work of art in every way, is the crucifixion scene. It encapsulates the essence of the human beings, constantly on the look out for a deliverance from their own demons, that never occurs.
I know this movie was subjected to censorship in the USSR, and yet, it is a parable of what Russia and the Russians have been going through in so many centuries, trying to see beauty in the mud. I am sure that the panel that saw the movie for the first time must have found it immensely potent.
you described it very closely when you said that we Russians trying to see beauty in the mud, we feel it as a living close experience of communicating with God through all these hardships and trials
thanks mosfilm. Russian cinema is awe-inspiring!! unmatched.
Is it the greater movie of all times? ;) Un immense MERCI !
Greatest film, greatest Russia!
St. Andrei Rublev pray for Us!❤

Thank you!
Thanks!
Thankyou so much
This movie was recommended to me by my Ancient Greek teacher after i told her am interested in priesthood and some of my views in the world,i thank her a lot for this.
The last scene was very impressive.❤
Thanks for putting this on YT. My favorite movie!
What a masterpiece! Words are poor to express my feelings! Even English subtitles don't add anything!
Thank you for sharing this experience ❤️
Quel bonheur de revoir ce film magnifique !
I saw this film when I was a boy. My parents were white Russian refugees who fled to Australia in the 60's and were given this on video by a friend. I have been trying to find this film for nearly 40 years.
Two of the unparalleled scenes of the entire cinema art are in this film I believe . Thanks a lot for the upload !
To have the luxury to watch this free on youtube... Thank you!
Great film. Russia has such a huge cultural history. Even when it goes wrong it's interesting.
history never goes wrong
Tarkovsky renounced his Russian citizenship and spent the last years of his life in Western Europe. Italy mostly, I think.
@@signoguns8501 Well he could have never renounced his Russian citizenship as he never had one as Russia didn't gain independence before his death but it's quite obvious that he had at least some type of love or patriotism for Russia based off the text in this movie..
@@signoguns8501 It also doesn't negate the fact that his movies are apart of Russian culture and he is a Russian cultural icon just because he spent about 5 years in the west.
@@user-hw3ru3qz3l Sure, he was obviously very influenced by certain aspects of Russia, but he quite obviously despised the totalitarian/authoritarian streak in the Russian psyche. He was an artist and totalitarian societies always restrict artistic freedoms and penalize free expression.
Renouncing your citizenship is a big deal. He didnt consider himself a Russian citizen any longer and he wanted the world to know that.
the moment i’m waiting for.. it was eons ago when i saw this on criterion collection dvd… thx for the upload… 😅😅😅
Would you happen to have Nostalgia? I've never seen it but distinctly remember this one scene from it where this guy tried to keep a candle light from going out, and for some reason when watching that scene in my college dorm room, by myself it got a bit emotional to me. Like on a personal level. Ever since I've been tracking down the name of the film, and learn as much as possible but not enough to spoil it before I see it for myself.
There is a version of it without subtitles only on youtube, if you search for it in Russian ("Ностальгия Тарковский")
But if you want one with subtitles, there is one one available amazon.
It's been on my list for ages, and I think I'll watch it soon thanks to your comment, - it's created such a vivid image in my mind, and I myself often experience a similar feeling. Thank you!
@@evakoshkaa thanks! And glad I could be of any help!
Greatest film of all time
MASTERPIECE!!!
Quel film extraordinaire ! Tarkovsky un grand , grand maître ! Une œuvre immense ! Vive la Russie et ses artistes incomparables !
Uno dei più importanti film del mondo. ❤
Excepțional film , Felicitări 🌹
Por favor pongan las películas con subtítulos en castellano. Hay muchos amantes del cine ruso en Latinoamérica que estamos esperando para ver joyas como esta.
Está subtitulada en español en el canal lalulula tv.

@2:33:00 from here to the end of the film, the whole thing with the Bell 🔔
Ahh, what unique genius and an expression of artistic process. And life. The everything.
without doubt a bona fide masterpiece. amazing!
I just finished watching this movie and I don't understand it at all. But it looks amazing.
This is the best channel on TH-cam
So beautiful film ..all those Christians sufferd so much ..God bless Russia ✝️❤️
The video quality restoration is great, but it has absolutely terrible English subtitles and it seems there is no way to turn it off? For example: the monk says: "Спаси Христос, хозяюшка!" i.e. "May Christ save you, good hostess!" but the subtitle translates it as "Many thanks, madam!" - really? What kind of professional translation is that??
im not even 15 minutes in and im not russian nor know it but i could tell something is off about the translations and subs, because it ignores dialogue alot
my third Tarkovsky movie...all gems
Absolutely special ❤️
Wonderful movie. I'm speechless. I needed to look up a little about Andrei Rublev to help me understand the movie better, though I still have tons of questions . . Man, these Russians just cannot make a regular mediocre movie. Something like 8-0 with me now. What a career Anatoly Solonitsyn had . . Andrei here, the acerbic Sartorius in Solaris, some guy in The Mirror, an asshole defector in The Ascent, and the 'writer' in the movie Stalker . .
I'll get back to you soon as I am studying this film .
Ok this is remarkable 👏
Now I'm studying the next piece.
Comedy is very different.
" You do not follow the dictates of your heart "
I will stop there tonight
A lot of concentration.
Powerful ending scene.
A great film.
To History of cinema.
Has anyone else noticed the angel in the background during the crucifixion scene?
Yes. The angel appears several times during that scene
Perhaps the most deeply Orthodox movie ever created
感恩。我满世界找这个资源。以为俄罗斯老电影没人看了
Besutiful film
Stunning!
Love that shot @2:25:12
If you only remember evil things, you will never be happy before God. Maybe you should forget some things, not all.
I came here from that quote on instagram
Dommage qu'il ne puisse y avoir de sous-titre en français. Merci toutefois
Not Tarcovsky's best film but certainly one of the best films
whats his best film to you?
Thank you
Love it ❤️ thanks !
And I just flippin well bought this on DVD!
Yes, I got hold of the dvd last year too. Have watched it several times in the past - a brilliant, epic film.
@@louise_rose I wouldn't have bothered, though, if I'd know someone was about to put it up on here! :) The film itself isn't quite what I expected; I thought it would be more meditative.
@@paddymeboy I think the second half is the visually most striking one, that's where it grows into a truly epic/dramatic film. The attack on the city (of Vladimir?) is certainly a glorious piece of cinema, syrongly influenced by Kurosawa (another hero of mine). :)'
I first watched it in a tv screening in early 1980, it was split up over two nights with a couple of days in between (at the time, tv screentime rarely went beyond midnight, at least not here in Sweden). I didn't know anything much about the director but decided to have a look, and was very impressed for sure, even with the sometimes slow first part - but I've never had trouble accepting when a work of art is taking its time. :)
@@louise_rose I don't mind it taking its time, I was actually surprised it was so (relatively) action-packed! A Hollywood movie over 2 hours is usually unbearable but, with some Old World directors, the longer the better. I hadn't seen this or anything of Tarkovsky's till now, I stumbled across it in an internet list of 'Great 3-hour movies' - I like a good 3 hour movie in which, ideally, nothing at all happens. :) I get the Kurosawa influence, though, I can certainly see that in the battle scene.
From Wki: A skomorokh was a medieval East Slavic harlequin, or actor, who could also sing, dance, play musical instruments and compose for oral/musical and dramatic performances.
and skomorokhs were not buried in orthodox cemeteries, only behind a fence
Ce passage de la cloche... à court de mots.
Пожалуйста, сделайте ваши отличные фильмы доступными с субтитрами на испанском и португальском языках!
My number one favorite film of the 1960s, a lot of people would usually pick The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (1968), Lawrence of Arabia (1962) or 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Masterpiece.
Great masterpiece
Disfruten está hermosa película
thank you so much for Uploading!
Masterpiece
Want Sacrifice and nostalgia and other Tarkovsky films too and , then movies like come and see man with a movie camera,the cranes are flying etc.
As someone who finds religion infuriatingly stupid before and after all, this movie should be intolerable, yet it is top five best movies I've ever seen.
Religion finds you infuriatingly stupid.
I'm an atheist but religion has given as much to the world as it has taken, especially in the arts and philosophy.
I think atheism is infuriatingly stupid.
