Andrei Rublev (1966), directed by Andrei Tarkovsky
Andreiv Rublev charts the life of the great icon painter through a
turbulent
period of 15th Century Russian history, a period marked by endless
fighting
between rival Princes and by Tatar invasions.
Andrei Tarkovski's 1966 masterpiece about the great 15th century Russian
icon painter (a film suppressed by the Soviet Union and unseen until
1971).
It's a complex and demanding narrative about the responsibility of the
artist to participate in history rather than do***enting it from a safe
distance.

Solaris (1972), directed by Andrei Tarkovsky
This film probes man's thoughts and conscience, as it follows a
psychologist
who is sent to a space station situated over the mysterious Solaris Ocean.
The two other scientists there tell the psychologist of strange
occurrences
in the station, and the Ocean's eerie ability to materialize their
thoughts.
After being in the station for a while, the psychologist finds himself
becoming very attached to it's alternate reality.
The Solaris mission has established a base on a planet that appears to
host
some kind of intelligence, but the details are hazy and very secret. After
the mysterious demise of one of the three scientists on the base, the main
character is sent out to replace him. He finds the station run-down and
the
two remaining scientists cold and secretive. When he also encounters his
wife who has been dead for seven years, he begins to appreciate the
baffling
nature of the alien intelligence.
Trivia: In Kris Kelvin's room it is possible to see an icon painted by
Andrei Rublyov, the Russian painter that has inspired Tarkowsky's former
movie.
