I can't recall as it has been a number of years, but my impression was that the young bell maker was lying about his father having given him the "secret" to making the bell, hence the anxiety about the success of the project. Am I misremembering that, or was I just not reading it correctly?
- gregsadetsky 4y agoThat's exactly it -- https://www.villagevoice.com/2018/08/20/the-secret-of-andrei-rublev/ https://www.villagevoice.com/2018/08/20/the-secret-of-andrei... "The boy, named Boriska [...] claims that before his father died, he revealed to him the secret of casting a bronze bell" "Amid his tears, Boriska reveals that his father never imparted to him the secret of bell making"
- pradn 4y agoYes, exactly. The father also died of a plague before they came to the son, if I recall.
