My comments about Andrei Rublev, the film (first cut)
I regard Andrei Rublev as the “film of films.” I’ve seen, and own copies of, all seven of Tarkovsky’s feature-length films. Of course, all seven are strikingly original and memorable, but I think that in Andrei Rublev, Tarkovsky has created … Continue reading
How Andrei Rublev, the film, came to be (part 2)
[... continued from a previous post ...] Andrei Tarkovsky completed Andrei Rublev, or at least thought that he had, in August 1966. This (first) version of the film was actually titled The Passion According to Andrei and it is 205 … Continue reading
The Film Talk web site
Do yourself a favor and check out The Film Talk web site, by Jett Loe and Gareth Higgins. I just discovered it the other day, and from what I’ve seen so far, it’s excellent! Their podcasts are free (but donations … Continue reading
How Andrei Rublev, the film, came to be
[In this post I rely heavily on the book by Robert Bird that I mentioned at the end of my last post, as well as on another excellent book by Bird, titled Andrei Tarkovsky : Elements of Cinema.] Given that … Continue reading
Andrei Rublev, monk-painter-theologian
The monk Andrei Rublev (c. 1360 – 1430) was a medieval Russian who painted Orthodox icons and frescoes. Little is known about his life, and only one work is known with certainty to be his alone – the icon of … Continue reading
Andrei Tarkovsky – three monks sheltering under an oak tree in the rain
I mentioned Andrei Arsenyevich Tarkovsky (1932-1986) a couple of posts ago, as one of at least three directors who could fairly be described as “creative theologians,” at least to the extent that film as an art form permits such a … Continue reading
The exile, and return, of Russian philosophy to Russia
Let’s perform a thought experiment. Let’s imagine that what happened to Russian philosophy after 1917 had also happened to Russian literature. This is Stanislav Dzhimbinov’s idea in his article, “The Return of Russian Philosophy,” in the aforementioned book, Russian Thought … Continue reading
George L. Kline
George L. Kline is someone you’ve likely never heard of, unless you have an interest in Russian philosophy. He is the Milton C. Nahm Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Bryn Mawr College (where he taught for thirty-two years). I first … Continue reading
–Do I have to watch this film? –Yes, it’s good for you.
[... continued from the last post ...] In The Modern Theologians one of the chapters I looked at first is titled “Theology and Film,” because that’s a topic that really interests me (old habits die hard). Author Jolyon Mitchell has … Continue reading
–Do I have to read this book? –Yes, it’s good for you.
I read subjects and people that interest me. Why shouldn’t I? Why shouldn’t anyone? An “assigned reading list” is anathema to a roomful of readers because when compulsion strides to the front, joy sneaks out the back. Teachers and professors … Continue reading
