Just finished Andrei Rublev on the Criterion Channel today. I hate to say, this film I think went above me. I don’t believe I was able to fully be taken in by the plot of the film. Obviously, it’s technically marvelous. Top notch camerawork as always from Tarkovsky and the city sacking sequence was quite impressive. The acting fantastic, writing quite good, but I really had a hard time getting myself invested in the plot and characters. Whenever I trying watching the film, within about 20 minutes my eyelids try to slam shut, even though I am trying so hard to engross myself in what’s happening. Maybe I’ll try another viewing again in the future, but I’m not so sure this is my kind of film.

Now, before my CC subscription expires, I intend to view the 7 hour Hungarian film Sátántangó from director Béla Tarr. We’ll see how that goes.
