Laota said a paragraph about the film in an interview: "After the filming, many colleagues and people in the film committee gave very high evaluations of the film, I was very surprised, because even I didn't know about the film. What exactly was made, the film was quickly hidden by the authorities, and it was never shown in the Soviet Union, because they thought the film was anti-historical, which is a completely wrong accusation, we try to restore the film as much as possible. In the real situation of the times, I was considered by the authorities to be anti-Russian.”,

Andrei Rublev quotes

  • Andrei Rublyov: You just spoke of Jesus. Perhaps he was born and crucified to reconcile God and man. Jesus came from God, so he is all-powerful. And if He died on the cross it was predetermined and His crucifixion and death were God's will. That would have aroused hatred not in those that crucified him but in those that loved him if they had been near him at that moment, because they loved him as a man only. But if He, of His own will, left them, He displayed injustice, or even cruelty. Maybe those who crucified him loved him because they helped in this divine plan.

  • Kirill: [admiring one of Feofan's icon paintings] As Epiphanius said in "The Life of Saint Sergeius," "Simplicity, without gaudiness." That is what this is. It's sacred... Simplicity, without gaudiness - you can't say it better.

    Feofan Grek: I see you are a wise man.

    Kirill: If so, is that a good thing? If one is ignorant, isn't it better to be guided by one's heart?

    Feofan Grek: In much wisdom there is much grief. And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
