I will in turn make a response about why Marketa Lazarova is better than Andrei Rublev. The argument will hinge entirely on a sheep.

I see your sheep, and raise you a cow, on fire (the cow was covered in a special jelly and was not actually hurt). 

Tarkovsky lit a cow on fire

AND

A horse rolling over. 

Tarkovsky made a horse roll over

Andrei Rublev wins.

PS:  I have not seen Marketa Lazarova but will check it out.
I’ve lied to men who wear belts. I’ve lied to men who wear suspenders. But I’d never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both a belt and suspenders.

You make a compelling argument, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to bring in the wolves if you're going to open the whole barn up to discussion.

They did kill the horse that fell down the steps in Andrei Rublev, too, so animals were certainly harmed during the production.

I don't know why you mentioned that the cow wasn't hurt, though. I just want to know how the old lady who got a spear in the chest is doing.

They're both overrated if you ask me.

Why should people rate them lower than they do?

Perhaps I'll review The Earrings of Madame De... instead.  :-\

It's really difficult to defend a film that PETA would not approve of (to put it lightly). I still love it though!

I love Andrei Rublev. It's one of my favorite films, and I just slightly prefer Marketa Lazarová, or so my recollection implies. I was just splitting hairs in order to stir up some fake controversy. I don't think you can possibly generate this much hype for Madame De...

As for PETA, I can't say they'd be too happy with Marketa Lazarová, either. Not one bit.

I invite you to my website to read my Terminator 2: Judgment Day review. Typically I'd post such reviews on the forum but in this case it's simply too long. I hope that doesn't deter anyone. I tried to make it as enjoyable as possible. If nothing else it capture my love of the film.
