The movie is notable for its troubled production and numerous issues with the Soviet Union's strict censorship board. It is Tarkovsky's longest and most violent film, and was only available in heavily cut versions until the [[Criterion Collection]] DVD release in 1999, which restored the film to its original 205 minute run time.

It is [[True Art Is Angsty|quite depressing]], but also considered to be a shining example of one of the 20th century's greatest creative minds at the height of his power.
