Yes seen those as well and they are cinematographically incredible. But, what I love about Andrei Rublev is the coherent plot for one. (Somewhat lacking in his other films) — and the message he sends about the state of the society he lived in: the repression of the State against the Individual, and yet the soul that emerges resilient through it. Love the powerful aesthetics and elements of traditional Russian religion and culture he conveyed also. As it’s set in Medieval, rather than Soviet auspices.
Beautiful film in many ways. If you need a good dvd of it Criterion probably has the best (though no BluRay yet)...

Yep, produced in 1966 in a totalitarian state.... How come he didn’t perish in Gulag? /s
