The Sacrifice @ Film Forum
This week I’m seeing Andrei Tarkovsky’s The Sacrifice at the Film Forum! I’ll be going to the 7:10 showing on Tuesday! Film Forum does not have assigned seating so just let me know if you want to join and I’ll meet you there!
In Tarkovsky’s final film, a mystic sacrifice must be offered to restore the world in the face of nuclear holocaust.
According to Time Out, The Sacrifice is “unrivaled in the history of cinema in the expression of sheer dread”. According to Andrew Sarris, “you may find yourself moved as you have never been moved before”.
Honestly I am not sure I am in the mood for so much dread, but I really want an egg cream and of the films playing at the Film Forum this seems like the most interesting!
And honestly, I am sure it can’t compare to last week’s viewing of the 2024 presidential election in terms of dread.
