The Passion for Solonitsyn

In 1964, an unknown provincial actor Anatoly Solonitsyn arrives in Moscow in the film crew of the film "Andrei Rublev" and offers himself to the main rod. The Khudsovet, headed by Mikhail Romm, urged Tarkovsky to abandon the dubious candidacy. Turning to specialists in ancient Russian literature and spreading out the photo tests of numerous candidates, Tarkovsky asked: "What face could be the face of Andrei Rublev?". Everyone pointed at Solonitsyn.
