Tarkovsky's final masterpiece is a haunting vision of a world threatened with nuclear annihilation. As a wealthy Swedish family celebrates the birthday of their patriarch, Alexander, news of the outbreak of World War III reaches their remote Baltic island. 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. Part of the Andrei Tarkovsky: Complete Retrospective (August 29–September 30, 2026).
