The Russian director, Andrei Tarkovsky, defines filmmaking as sculpting In time. “The Sacrifice” is a magnificent sculpture. We spent three nights with the movie, watching it and the extras a few times. Tarkovsky says an artist doesn’t look for a subject, “the subject grows within the artist.” This film is so beautiful that it hardly matters that the story is about Armageddon.

keep going backwards – Sacrifice was his last film.
If you havent seen Ivans Childhood, Nostalgia, Stalker, or Solaris, you are in for some long nites and real treats.
