Spring Break Tarkovsko-thon: Sacrifice and Wrap Up

And with Sacrifice, the Tarkovsko-thon is over!

That was way harder than I expected. That said I’m really glad I did it.  In this post, I’ll be going through my final opinions on Tarkovsky’s work as a whole as well as my rankings of his movies, from my favorite to least favorite, with a couple of extra categories thrown in there. Maybe I’ll do an awards style thing.

But first, Sacrifice.

Spring Break Tarkovsko-thon: Nostalghia

Nostalghia has the makings of a real masterpiece, a semi-autobiographical (the main character is named Andrei and is exiled from Russia) story about painful separation from your homeland.

Then, at around the hour and forty minute mark, the movie kind of…breaks.

But let’s not talk about that, at least till later.
