In his final film, Tarkovsky delivers a profound meditation on faith, mortality, and redemption. Alexander (Erland Josephson), a philosopher and retired actor who faces the threat of nuclear annihilation on his birthday, makes a pact with God, willing to sacrifice everything to avert catastrophe. Through stunning visuals and deep philosophical inquiry, Tarkovsky invites us to contemplate the human spirit’s capacity for selflessness and hope. Winner of the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. Subtitles.
