The best thing about this shot is that this is actually Take TWO. With Take One, the film jammed in the camera. So they had to rebuild the whole house and do it over.
this is my 2nd tarkovsky film. Andrei Rublev bored me to tears, but my god, Offret was such a beautiful and spiritually moving film. Can't wait to watch all of his films and possibly give another try to Andrei Rublev.
There are two kinds of people in this world, the ones who begin to understand this film, and the rest. It's unbelievable to see this scene done in a single shot, over 5 minutes, and when you know that this is the 2nd take, the first take was lost when the camera jammed while the house burnt down, and the production crew managed to rebuild the house from nothing to save the film....
I saw this movie when I was about 20 years old and it absolutely frightened the daylights out of me. Even though I didn't "get it" I was still deeply moved and had trouble sleeping for days after seeing it.
I have just discovered Tarkovsky's work. I've known ABOUT him for years but now I'm going to begin watching the films. I just have one question: should I see them in the order in which they were made?
The sacrifice is to give up a house by the lake to save humanity and the world. What a bargain! Real bang for the buck. And then, why to burn it down, instead of just giving it up for others enjoyment? Besides abandoning the boy, he now leaves him also homeless. Pretty cheap and selfish sacrifice. Self centered as always with his words, words, words, in useles obsessive monologues.
One of the best cinematic shots ever.
La mejor película de la historia del cine. Y este uno de los mejores planos secuencia jamás filmados.

This film had such a powerful effect on me when I first saw it about 20 years ago. Thanks for posting it.

Tarkovsky and Kubrick are two of my favorite directors of all time.

I have just discovered Tarkovsky's work. I've known ABOUT him for years but now I'm going to begin watching the films.
I just have one question: should I see them in the order in which they were made?
WOW. just wow.
lifе...scene...frame...circle...infinity...
eternal return, Nietzsches dwarf...
thats a BMW E21?
Plz explain this scene
It does not matter. Most of all I liked "Stalker"
What's Kubrick got to do with this? Are you thinking Bergman?
Yes it's a great scene but the film just irritated me.
