The Board (2008)

타타르 제국의 침략을 받은 15세기 러시아의 수도사 안드레이, 다닐, 키릴은 일을 찾아 수도원을 떠나는데, 떠돌아다니던 그들은 전쟁과 약탈, 강간과 살인 등 참혹한 현실과 만난다. 그들은 마침내 성상화의 대가 테오판을 만나게 되고, 테오판은 우직한 안드레이를 제자로 선택한다. 그러나 안드레이는 수도원 밖의 현실, 용서와 구원에 대한 내적 갈등으로 더 이상 벽화를 그릴 수가 없다. 격정의 15세기 미술계의 아이콘이었던 안드레이 루블로프의 삶을 그린 영화. ‘삼위일체’로 유명한 15세기의 성상화가 안드레이 루블료프의 인생과 고뇌를 그린 타르코프스키의 두 번째 장편으로, 9개의 에피소드가 연결된 프레스코 구조를 지닌다. 역사의 기록에만 몰두하며 순수 예술가로 남을 것인지 아니면 정치와 시류의 흐름을 쫓아 갈 것인지를 두고 고민하는 종교화가의 안드레이 루블로프의 고뇌를 통해 예술의 본질 탐구와 동시에 당시의 사회상을 꼬집은 수작으로, 침략 전쟁, 기아, 질병에 고통받는 러시아 민중의 삶을 배경으로 '예술이란 무엇이며, 무엇을 해야 하는가?'를 묻고 있는 이 영화는 안드레이 타르콥스키의 작품 중 가장 '역사'에 가깝게 다가서고 있다. 여러 개의 에피소드들이 느슨하게 연결되어 있는 '프레스코' 구조를 지니고 있으며, 마치 거대한 프레스코 벽화를 보는 듯한 웅장한 느낌을 준다. 안드레이 타르코프스키는 의 감독 콘찰로프스키와 사석에서 대화하던 중에 신비의 베일에 싸여있던 15세기의 성상 화가 루블레프에 매력을 느껴 영화화할 것을 결심했다고 전한다. 공개 당시 당국의 정책을 비판했다는 이유로 상영이 금지되기도 했다.

The film is notable for presenting a more human Jesus, compared to more solemn portrayals in earlier films; here Jesus laughs and cries like anyone else. Among other things, he weeps at Joseph’s funeral, throws stones in Lake Galilee when meeting Simon Peter and James son of Zebedee for the first time, dances at the wedding at Cana, and starts a water-splashing fight with his disciples as well. Satan is portrayed as a man in modern dress (and as a woman in red). During his temptation of Jesus, he shows him the Earth from the vantage point of space. Satan also shows Jesus images of wars and destruction carried out in his name. The film adds an apocryphal Roman historian named “Livio” who watches and comments as events unfold; he is presumably named after Livy.
