About
The Sacrifice

Andrei Tarkovsky directed this final masterpiece as he was dying of cancer, and THE SACRIFICE is a film that only a man nearing the end of his life can direct. It's a powerful and haunting tale of a family facing nuclear holocaust, causing their patriarch to enter into a sacrificial bargain with God. Strikingly beautiful and deeply felt, THE SACRIFICE is a profound and evocative farewell from a cinematic master.
