Andrei Tarkovsky's final masterpiece is a haunting vision of a world threatened with nuclear annihilation that inspired Andrew Sarris (The Village Voice) to proclaim, "You may find yourself moved as you have never been moved before." As a wealthy Swedish family celebrates the birthday of their patriarch Alexander (Erland Josephson, Cries and Whispers), news of the outbreak of World War III reaches their remote Baltic island—and the happy mood turns to horror. The director's last feature, made as he was dying of cancer, The Sacrifice is Tarkovsky's personal statement: a profoundly moving, redemptive tragedy steeped in unforgettable imagery and heart-wrenching emotion. The film is screening in a new 4K restoration carried out by the Swedish Film Institute from the original 35mm camera negative.
