Analysis of 'The Sacrifice'

The Sacrifice (Offret) is a 1986 Swedish film written and directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. It stars Erland Josephson, with Susan Fleetwood, Allan Edwall, Sven Wollter, and Valérie Mairesse. Many of the crew had worked in Ingmar Bergman films. The Sacrifice was Tarkovsky’s last film, and his third film as an expatriate from the Soviet Union, after Nostalghia and the documentary, Voyage in Time. He…

Total refusal Year: 1968 Artist: Carl Johan De Geer , Marie-Louise Ekman Technique: Screen print Format: 44.9 x 61.9 cm Copyright: Carl Johan De Geer and Marie-Louise Ekman / Image copyright 2018

The poster is a collaboration between Carl Johan and Marie-Louise De Geer. The text is Carl Johan's usual font, Futura, which he learned at Konstfack. The figure is typical of Marie-Louise. By "total refusal" was meant that they did not accept unarmed service, firefighter or medical service or anything that helped the military. The "total refusers" were a small group that mainly consisted of me, Öyvind Fahlström and Per Carleson, says Carl Johan De Geer.

Scenes from the screen-printing of the poster were included in Stig Björkman's short film NO, which was shot in Stockholm in 1968 and premiered at Luleå Filmstudio in May 1969. The film is about why people refused conscription at the end of the 60s. Participating were i.a. Sven Wollter, Per Ragnar, Sven Andersson (the Minister of Defence), Herman Schmid, Robert Carleson, Marie-Louise De Geer, Carl Johan De Geer, Öyvind Fahlström, Per Kågeson, Henrik Nybäck, Sigvard Olsson.

The Sacrifice (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1986)

Cast: Erland Josephson, Susan Fleetwood, Allan Edwall, Guðrún Gísladóttir, Sven Wollter, Valérie Mairesse, Filippa Franzén, Tommy Kjellqvist, Per Kellman, Tommy Nordahl. Screenplay: Andrei Tarkovsky. Cinematography: Sven Nykvist. Production design: Anna Asp. Film editing: Michal Leszczylowski, Andrei Tarkovsky.

Andrei Tarkovsky's The Sacrifice was his last film, finished only months before his death, and is in many ways extraordinary. But I'm afraid it tempts me to sarcastic assessments like "art-house profundity," a rude and inadequate phrase that I might have used about the film if I didn't respect its maker so much. For The Sacrifice is unquestionably a visionary film, drawn from Tarkovsky's heart and soul. I just wish there were a little more brain holding heart and soul in check. Is it my habitual agnosticism that makes me bridle against the protagonist's quest for metaphysical certainty? The search for God has produced cinematic masterworks like Carl Theodor Dreyer's Ordet (1955), Robert Bresson's Diary of a Country Priest (1951), Tarkovsky's own Andrei Rublev (1966), and, most appropriate in this context, Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1957). The Bergman connection suggests itself because Tarkovsky made his film in Sweden, with Bergman's frequent leading man Erland Josephson and cinematographer Sven Nykvist, in a location, Gotland, that resembles the island of Fårö, the location of many of Bergman's own films. But The Sacrifice seems to me to take some of the worst aspects of some of Bergman's films -- the rather histrionic treatment of people's search for faith in Through a Glass Darkly (1961) and The Silence (1963) -- and intensify it. Precipitating the crisis of The Sacrifice with the threat of nuclear holocaust warps the film away from psychological truth into didacticism. One of the reasons Andrei Rublev succeeds is that, like The Seventh Seal, it is set in an age of faith. Both films depict the essential downside to spiritual certainty -- bigotry and fanaticism and a loss of essential humanity -- while balancing it with a portrayal of the rewards of faith: kindness and creativity. But to liken the plague that threatens the world of The Seventh Seal to the threat of nuclear annihilation misses the point: For the medieval world, the Plague was a test of faith; for the modern world, the Bomb is a test of humanity. The Sacrifice, I think, misses that point. Moreover, I think Tarkovsky's style -- enigmatic, elliptical, deliberately obscure -- becomes a stumbling block in attempts to respond both emotionally and intellectually to the film. By failing to make relationships among the characters more explicit -- Is Marta (Filippa Franzén) Alexander's daughter? What is her connection to the doctor, Victor (Sven Wollter)? -- Tarkovsky forces us to spend a lot of our attention on matters of simple identification, distracting us from what should be the central focus of the film. And what, exactly, is that?

13th Warrior (1999)

Director - John McTiernan, Cinematography - Markus Förderer

“Merciful Father, I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only to live the next few minutes well. For all we ought to have thought, and have not thought; all we ought to have said, and have not said; all we ought to have done, and have not done; I pray thee, God, for forgiveness.”

Offret (1986)

Offret (1986) är alltså en svensk film regisserad av Andrei Tarkovsky. Inspelad på Närsholmen på sydöstra Gotland. Denna blev den sista filmen han gjorde, innan han avled i cancer samma år som filmen kom ut.

handling, hämtad från filmtipset: Alexander, journalist, f.d. skådespelare och filosof firar sin födelsedag då tredje världskriget bryter ut. Han vänder sig i bön till Gud och erbjuder sig att offra allt om Gud gör så att kriget aldrig bröt ut.

Tarkovsky skapade filmen inspirerad av Ingmar Bergman och de gotländska miljöer som finns närvarande i några av hans filmer. En film i ultrarapid, i likhet med hans tidigare verk. Den innehåller också samma stämning, denna hypnotiska, surrealistiska och nästan lite spöklika. Detta i kombination med ett språk och skådespeleri som jag gillar och känner igen gav allt som allt en ganska behaglig filmupplevelse, om än något seg. 

Jämfört med de andra filmerna jag sett av honom så upplevde jag denna som mer lätthanterlig och sammanhängande. Dock inte alls lika intressant som exempelvis Solaris (1972). Denna påminde mer om en ganska klassiskt teaterdrama med inslag av övernaturlighet. Men framförallt en film med många vackra, vackra scener och texturer.
