Framing and Enframing: Events in Tarkovsky’s The Sacrifice

The Sacrifice of the Russian director, Andrei Tarkovsky, is imbued with conspicuous Christian elements, which involves the viewers’ abandoning the conventional framing and adopting the Christian frame to appreciate the inner logic of the movie. In the film, Alexander conducts two sacrifices when humans are confronted with the nuclear apocalypse resulting from modern technology. The first sacrifice saves humanity from impending nuclear doom. Alexander presents the artwork that eulogizes God; meanwhile, he makes possible humanity’s return to the real home. The movie, in a way, calls for the men to abandon the blind dependence on technology and explore a new direction under the guidance of art.
