Andrei Rublev

A visionary monk‑painter strives to perfect his holy icons while a brutal medieval war shatters his faith, forcing him into a vow of silence that threatens both his soul and his art.

In much wisdom there is much grief.

Synopsis

An expansive Russian drama, this film centers on the life of the revered religious icon painter Andrei Rublev. Moving from place to place during a turbulent period, the peace-seeking monk gradually earns a reputation for his art. However, after witnessing a brutal battle and becoming unintentionally involved in it, he takes a vow of silence and withdraws from his work. As he begins to find solace for his troubled soul, he takes steps toward resuming his life as a painter.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 59+ credited

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.0× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
