The Sacrifice

Wow, this is quite a film. The final ten minutes will stay with me, but art that intentionally "leaves it up to the viewer" has always seemed like a cop out to me. Ive often felt the same way about music that takes this approach. Im honestly not sure how my cynicism is warranted with this one; I need to think on it a bit. But yeah, quite s film

Really confusing, and I loved It. Andrei Tarkovsky never wanted that we understood his movies! It's philosophical, artistic, introspective, beautiful! I loved It!

On the outside, The Sacrifice seemed to me, to be a full career retrospective, but it couldn’t be farther from the truth. It feels like a full on mid-style transition. It feels like Tarkovsky at his most formally realized, I swear I felt every single cut deep in my soul
