[Autograph of Andrei Tarkovsky] Advertising poster for the feature film "Andrei Rublev" / artist M. Romadin. [Andrei Rublyov. Poster by Mikhail Romadin]. [n.p.]: Sovexportfilm, [n.d.] 33×24 cm. Corner slightly worn, otherwise excellent condition. On the reverse, an inscription 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 Rublev — Anatoly Alekseevich Solonitsyn (1934-1982). "Andrei Rublev" (original title — "The Passion According to Andrei") is a historical philosophical film drama by Andrei Tarkovsky, produced in 1966 at the Mosfilm studio. Screenwriters: Andrei Konchalovsky and Andrei Tarkovsky. Tarkovsky submitted the application for the film in 1961, i.e., before "Ivan's Childhood." The film-narrative, divided into 8 novella-episodes, describes the 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 Rublev. In the Soviet Union, the film faced harsh criticism and censorship for its gloominess, excessive naturalism, "ahistorical" nature, anti-patriotism, as well as for "cruelty to animals." It was later recognized as one of the director's main works. It appears in many lists and rankings of the best films in the history of world cinema.
