[Autograph of Andrei Tarkovsky] Promotional poster for the feature film "Andrei Rublyov" / artist: M. Romadin. [Andrei Rublyov. Poster by Mikhail Romadin]. [No place]: Sovexportfilm, [no year]. 33×24 cm. One corner is worn, otherwise in excellent condition. On the reverse side, there is a dedicatory inscription written in blue ink: "To Anatoly, in memory of our film. Yours, A. Tarkovsky." Presumably, the recipient of the autograph could have been the theater and film actor who played the role of Andrei Rublyov—Anatoly Alekseyevich Solonitsyn (1934–1982). "Andrei Rublyov" (original title—"The Passion According to Andrei") is a historical-philosophical film drama by Andrei Tarkovsky, filmed in 1966 at the Mosfilm studio. The screenplay authors are Andrei Konchalovsky and Andrei Tarkovsky. Tarkovsky submitted the application for the film in 1961, that is, before "Ivan's Childhood." The film, structured as a narrative divided into 8 novella-episodes, depicts a period of turmoil in Rus' at the beginning of the 15th century—from 1400 to 1423—as if seen through the eyes of the monk-icon painter Andrei Rublyov. In the Soviet Union, the film was subjected to harsh criticism and censorship for its gloominess, excessive naturalism, "ahistoricity," lack of patriotism, as well as for "cruelty to animals." Subsequently, it was recognized as one of the director's major works. It is included in many lists and rankings of the best films in the history of world cinema.
