Andrei Tarkovsky was born in Zavrzhye, Yurievets region, the son of Arseni Tarkovsky, a poet and critic, and Maria Ivanovna, an actress.
Andrei Rublev also marked the first time Tarkovsky juxtaposed colour and fl and white film stock, a practice he was to continue and refine throughout the rest of his work.
Andrei is captured and bound in a stable by villagers who do not want him to interfere with their dear ritual.

Andrei Sergeyevich Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky (born August 20, 1937 in Moscow) is a film writer and director, most famous for his American films such as Runaway Train and Tango and Cash.
Andrei Tarkovsky is the most celebrated filmmaker of the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s (until his death in Paris on Dec.
He is the patriarch of the contemporary Soviet “poetic film.” Tarkovsky strongly opposed montage and believed that the basis of art cinema (film art) is the internal rhythm of the shot.
Tarkovsky’s next film was Andrei Rublev (1966-1971), written as a script by Andrei Mikhalkov-Konchalovski, which produced an official scandal.

Andrei Tarkovsky (USSR), Jan Hrebejk (Czech Republic), Ivanka Grabcheva (Bulgaria), Goran Paskaljevic (Croatia), Miklos Juncso (Hungary) and AndreiKonchalovski (Russia)-- these big names are not new to the film lovers of our country.
The six films from different countries of East Europe will be screened from September 19 to 21.
Ivan's Childhood of Andrei Tarkovsky at 4 pm and Divided We Fall of Jan Hrebejk at 6pm will be screened on the first day of the session on September 19, Sunday.
Igor Len was the keyboardist of the band Nikolay Kopernik, and collaborated with the orchestral-Rock macroconcerts by Edward Artemiev.
In the early 1990s he became known at a more international level thanks to his first solo album, devoted to Russian poet Arseniy Tarkovski and to his son Andrei (the well known movie maker).
The music by Igor Len, based on the guitar and synthesizers, can be classified as New Age, with a touch of Russian Vangelis on a mystic plane.
Thanks to the development of computerized special FX Konchalovsky managed to give credibility to this fantasy world where gods freely mix with human beings.
But he was careful to put the emphasis on the psychological side of the story (with the help of a magnificent cast).
This is the official soundtrack to AndreiKonchalovsky's TV production, "The Odyssey" released in 1998 by "Electroshock Records" company.
Our attention is caught by Jon Voight and Eric Roberts, whose excellent performances as unhinged and increasingly desperate escaped convicts anchor and drive the film.
Our attention is held by Konchalovski's strong, workmanlike direction, and by the technical team, which adopts aesthetics unconventional but bleakly beautiful.
Whether the film is, as some argue, a genuinely profound meditation, or whether it simply stands as an above-average action film is still in question -- but I would be lying if I said I didn't feel something stir during those last, almost ethereal moments.

A group of music lovers from Jahangirnagar University (JU) recently held an unplugged concert on the campus.
I happen to be writing a term paper on 'Andrei Rublev' and would be grateful for any feedback from anyone interested in exploring the interface between tarkovsky's films, painting (remember the tableaus from Pieter Breughel's Crucifixion?), and, more generally, theorization on the subject of time and its representations in art.
Andrei Tarkovsky and Stanley Kubrick are both in my opinion the two greatest masters of Cinema ever to live.I admire the work of these two directors because of the level of depth that can be found on their works and because their movies always become deeper after each viewing.
I'm writing a book about Andrei Tarkovski and it would be very important to me to get in touch with someone from the family or the closed friends (I mean especially, his son, Andrei Tarkovski jr.).

In 1988 his second son, Gilbert, was born.
That is when the movie's director, AndreiKonchalovski, decided to offer Trejo a job as a main actor in the movie.
Trejo's life would change forever: realizing he did not need crime to make a living, he decided to stick with acting.

Of course one might think that in the history of cinema the use of madness inside to show madness outside has been used often and sometimes very successfully.
However, Konchalovsky, who has spent his career studying the thin line between good and evil or between sanity and insanity (we should all watch again the wonderful "Siberiade", "Runaway Train" or "Shy People"), does it in a much more creative and intelligent level than ever before.
His film manages to attain such a level of reflection on power, love, war and death that even if the end is slow to come, every step will leave you fascinated and deep in thought.

Julia spent two months with inmates of psychiatric house before shooting the film, so that she could integrate herself in their small community.

Sibiriada (1979)(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
What I didn't like about it, was that I think he later played characters that remind me of Aleksei in films like "Cruel Romance" (Zhestokij romans, which I actually love) and to some extent in "The Insulted and the Injured" ("Unizhennye i oskorblyonnye").
"Sibiriada" shows, I think, what a great film-maker AndreiKonchalovski was before he went to Hollywood and made forgettable films like "Tango and Cash" and less forgettable like "Runaway train".
I have seen this movie and would like to comment on it
