“We wait for something. We hope, we lose hope, we move closer to death.”
With that cheery note, the Arts Union Science Podcast returns with an episode on Andrei Tarkovsky’s final film: The Sacrifice (1986). Join your corresponding author (Tyler D. R. Vance) and returning first author extraordinaire (Keegan Turner-Wood) as they unpack the existential dread associated with nuclear holocaust circa in the late ‘80s, with clearly no relevance to the modern day . . . yeah. Along the way, they’ll wade into the film’s relationship to Fredrich Nietzsche, wax poetic about the use of biblical allusion and transcendental film-making styles, and try to figure out if the film contains the worst party in cinema history.
If you’d like to leave a review of our findings, feel free to email us at artsunionscience@gmail.com. You can tell us if you accept our findings, accept them with revisions, or outright reject them.
