193) The Sacrifice (1986) Dir: Andrei Tarkovsky Date Released: November 1986 Date Seen: June 24th, 2009 Rating: 3.5/5
The combination of Tarkovsky's preoccupations with Bergman's yields a strange and ungainly mix of ideas and aesthetics that isn't as effective as it should be. Intriguing but only fleetingly beautiful. See my mention of it on my forthcoming piece on Tarkovsky's visual leitmotifs for The Onion's New York Decider.
