| | The Sacrifice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The film The Sacrifice ("Offret") by Andrei Tarkovsky, (Sweden, 1986) was filmed when Tarkovsky knew that he was dying of cancer and it can be seen as his testament, as it recaptures motives used in several of his previous films. |
 | | The synopsis is deceptively short: An aging psychologist/writer (Erland Josephson) with a younger actress wife, a teenage daughter and a young son (who is mute throughout the film except for the last shots) experiences the end of the world, a nuclear holocaust. |
 | | This reflected the mood of the day, as also captured, but much less subtly in the US film The Day After. |
