The Sacrifice

Philip French: A re-released masterwork
  
  


In 1986 I was on the Cannes jury that gave the Grand Prix Spécial du Jury to Andrei Tarkovsky's The Sacrifice, his final film made in Swedish on Bergman's Baltic island. Now re-released, it's an immaculate, humourless, self-important, hectoring movie, a characteristically rebarbative masterwork by a cinematic poet.
