Original Title: Andrey Rublyov
Directed by: Andrei Tarkovsky
Synopsis: This unforgettable sweeping epic follows the life of the fifteenth-century Russian iconographer (Anatoliy Solonitsyn) during the tumultuous times of warring Princes and violent invasions.
Kitty Cameo: The aftermath of a particularly brutal attack by Tartars leaves Andrei and a simple-minded woman named Durochka (Irma Raush) sitting amidst the carnage in a church. A black cat appears in the foreground, surveying the devastating scene.
The cat then moves across the floor, passing Andrei and pausing before finally disappearing.
Final Mewsings: Cats can’t believe how cruel humans can be to one another.
