cert PG, 149 minutes. £ 4.50 director: Andrei Tarkovsky with Erland Josephson/Susan Fleetwood/Valéry Mairesse |
A retired actor, on the eve of nuclear holocaust, makes a pact with the Almighty to sacrifice himself and all he is if the world be restored. Tarkovsky’s last film, luminously photographed by Sven Nykvist, is quite simply a visionary masterpiece. | |
