Andrei Rublev

“Starting with Andrei Rublev. It’s– that’s a film I absolutely love. I try to go back to it every single year. Tarkovsky used to say that cinema only exists if everybody who’s doing a film is in the artery of that film, and I have the impression that Andrei Rublev somehow epitomizes this. It’s an extraordinary film.”

“Oh, I see Andrei Rublev here. Its style is incredible because you know the Tarkovsky's first movie is a good film but you can't talk about the style a lot but in his second movie such a change. How did he reach that style in just in the second movie? It's incredible also in content. It's very impressive I think.”

“Andrei Rublev che mi sa che sta da questa parte qua. Tarkowski è un altro dei miei registi più amati e sicuramente questo è un film che è stato molto importante nella mia carriera... è proprio su una riflessione profonda sul Senso dell'arte sul Senso dell'artista quindi diciamo che è un film che consiglio soprattutto a tutti in ogni momento ma anche nei momenti difficili soprattutto lo consiglio e mettiamo anche questo capolavoro dentro la borsetta.”

“Andrei Rublev c'est évidemment le chef-dœuvre de Tarkovski et Tarkovski je l'ai rencontré je lui ai même fait la cuisine figurez-vous chez moi il était mais tellement modeste... Il était tellement beau il racontait ça tellement simplement tellement privé de liberté parfois d'accès à son œuvre et tout et c'est vrai que il était extrêmement émouvant et simple...”

“Favorite film my whole life long. Andrei Rublev, Tarkovsky. It’s inexplicably beautiful. It’s inexplicably profound. It’s shot in 65mm black and white, except for… But I won’t give it away. And… you have to be patient with it. I mean, look, how many films do you know where your main protagonist takes a vow of silence for a whole act? But it’s… it’s such an incredible, incredibly well-crafted and well-thought-out film which just deals with everything.”
