The odd thing about this film...


is that despite being about an icon painter, there is remarkably little painting to be seen, and we see more scenes of paintings being destroyed than created.

Because it's about a painter who lost his inspiration + fears the white wall/canvas......Then he refinds it......It's about depression and losing your sense.....and refinding it. No need to show paintings made ( actually Tarkovsky does ....his triomphant FINAL images of the real icons of R. in COLOUR !!!
Depression survived .
