The Sacrifice by Andrei Tarkovsky | Art Hits Hard

The Sacrifice — A Dream in Ashes Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, 1986 The wind moves through The Sacrifice not as weather, but as presence. Space is carved by silence, time stretched until it fractures. Each image stands alone—unexplained, unmoved, exact. The camera glides without motive. It does not search. It observes. Figures appear and recede, not as characters, but as forms—placed, contained, suspended. Objects are not props, but anchors. A glass, a candle, a bicycle: not symbolic, yet charge
