Offret - Sacrificatio

This is probably the most amazing thing I have ever seen and maybe the most beautiful thing I will ever see. I was literally stunned for 30 minutes after viewing it. Now most of you are probably not acquainted with Andrei Tarkovsky and if your are not don't start with this move. Even more of you are probably not familiar with Sven Nykvist. Both are masters beyond words and This is the only time you will get to see them working together. The plot is hard to describe. Basically Alexander sees visions and thinks that he is the only one who can prevent world war three. The story greatly parallels the story of Job but with the questions unanswered and reward un-given. The larger issue is to explore faith and all the light and darkness that surrounds it. This is at the heart of all Tarkovsky's work and every film is one of those deep edifying experiences that make us all better as people.
