Alexander, a journalist and former actor and philosopher, tells his little son how worried he is about the lack of spirituality of modern mankind. In the night of his birthday, the third world war breaks out. In his despair Alexander turns himself in a prayer to God, offering him everything to have the war not happened at all.

"21.2. Mubi Iskee kutkuttava tilanne ja heti pukkaa eksistentiaalista kriisiä. Kiirus ei ole mihnään ja kuvat ovat upeita. Jännä."

"11.2. Todella vaikuttavia tekeleitä nämä Tarkovskit kun näille osaa pyhittää oman aikansa ja pääsee kunnolla uppoutumaan. The Sacrificessa käsitellään taas Stalkerin tavoin ihmisyyden syvimpiä syövereitä, ja ainakin itseäni tämä koskettaa jollain semmoisella tavalla mitä on hankala pukea sanoiksi. Unenomainen, filosofinen, parhaimmillaan järkyttävä ja surullinen. Hetket ennen sodan alkua elokuvan parasta antia, loppua kohden menettää hitusen momentimiaan, josta täytyy se"

"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★½ NOTES: UK release print. Some notable typos in the subtitles (“litteraly” “I’ven”). Also very worn out visually; colours are perfect except at a point while Marta breaks down when it appears to change tone for a moment. Towards the end of the first reel, an entire chunk of the film appears to have burned off, skipping from Alexander talking to Otto to Otto riding off on his bicycle. DATE: December 23rd 2023 CINEMA: Curzon LOCATION: Soho"
