The Sacrifice - The Fear Of Impending Uncertainty:
This week's video essay discusses a central theme surrounding one of Tarkovsky's cinematic wonders: fear. A universal emotion, Tarkovsky's "The Sacrifice" explores this beautifully as Alexander, an ex-professor, struggles to come to terms with an impending war, leading to him praying to God, promising to sacrifice all he holds dear to him. It's an emotionally devastating film that expresses the humanity of desperation. With dreamy, ethereal visuals, philosophical themes and religious connections, this is pure Tarkovsky.
